Martinez said a resident heard several gunshots, prompting villagers to report the incident to barangay watchmen. The watchmen later discovered the bodies.

The victims’ faces were covered with packaging tape while their hands were tied.

Martinez, in a telephone interview, said the victims had bullet wounds in their heads and bodies.

He said police have yet to determine the possible motive in the killings as they try to identify the victims and where they were from. CDG
