BANGUED, Abra A 17-year old female died after she was repeatedly stabbed by still unidentified suspects while she was doing her household chores inside their house at Sta. Rosa here around 7:30 pm Wednesday.
Senior Superintendent Antonio Bartolome, provincial director of the Abra Provincial Police Office, declined to release the identity of the victim pending the outcome of their followup investigation to arrest the perpetrators the soonest.
Initial police investigation showed the victim was reportedly doing her usual household chores when the still unidentified suspects suddenly appeared from behind and repeatedly stabbed her with the use of sharp objects.
The victim managed to extricate herself from the suspects and sought for help from her neighbors and relatives prompting them to seek police assistance and immediately rush her to the Seares Memorial Hospital for medical treatment.
However, she reportedly expired due to multiple stab wounds on the different parts of her body while manhunt operations are now underway for the suspects who fled towards an undisclosed direction.
