A former male worker fatally stabbed a female employee inside a fast food restaurant in Quezon City on Saturday evening, Val Gonzales reported.
In an interview on DZRH’s Dos Por Dos, Quezon City Police District (QCPD) officer PCapt. Febie Madrid confirmed that the suspect, 25, was a former employee of the establishment. However, she said it remains unclear whether he had a personal relationship with the 22-year-old victim.
Madrid said investigators were able to identify the suspect after he left some of his personal belongings at the scene.
Authorities are still determining whether any items were stolen or missing from the victim.
The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) is now conducting a manhunt for the suspect, identified as Eduardo Hilar Lagalao.
"Sa ngayon po ay masusing iniimbestigahan ng QCPD ang karumaldumal na pangyayaring ito at patuloy po ang malalim na imbestigasyon ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit," said Madrid.
Madrid also urged the public to report any information about the suspect to authorities or to the nearest police station to help ensure his immediate arrest and deliver justice for the victim.
