Pablito Naganag, Cainta police chief, said they believed Nakpil was killed by a construction worker from a building site behind the victim’s house. “He may have scaled the roof, jumped the wall between Nakpil’s house and the construction site, and waited for her to arrive,” Naganag told the Inquirer. Investigators recovered from the scene a bloodstained bag which they said the suspect might have rummaged through for any cash. Naganag said the suspect had a standing arrest warrant for murder in Pangasinan, where he reportedly stabbed his victim 16 times. ADVERTISEMENTMembers of the Cainta police conducted follow-up operations in Pangasinan and La Union after reports that the suspect was sighted there, but failed to locate him.
