Tragic Discovery in Victoria: Victim Identified as Son of Slain Officer
Authorities in Tarlac have confirmed the discovery of a deceased male whose body was found discarded at a calamansi farm in Victoria. The victim has been identified as the son of Senior Master Sgt. Diane Marie Mollenido, a police officer who was also recently found dead under suspicious circumstances in Bulacan.
Disturbing Details of the Crime Scene
Local law enforcement reported that the young man’s body was found in a highly compromised state, completely wrapped in plastic tape. The discovery was made by workers at the farm, who immediately alerted the Victoria Police Station. Investigators are currently processing the scene for forensic evidence to determine the exact cause of death and the timeline of events leading up to the body being abandoned at the plantation.
A Developing Investigation Into Linked Deaths
The 38-year-old Mollenido, a member of the Southern Police District (SPD), had been reported missing shortly before her own body was recovered in Bulacan. The discovery of her son’s remains in a neighboring province has raised significant concerns regarding a potential connection between the two killings.
Police are now looking into the background of both victims to identify possible motives. While no suspects have been named in either case, investigators are exploring whether the double tragedy is related to Mollenido’s work in law enforcement or a personal vendetta. Security remains heightened as the community and the police force seek justice for the fallen officer and her family.
