Muntinlupa Mayor Jaime Fresnedi on Tuesday announced he is offering a P100,000 reward to anyone who can give vital information to help solve the murder of house helper Richelle Sagang, whose head was found in Makati and her body in Santa Maria, Bulacan.
Fresnedi vowed to hasten the arrest of the perpetrators and appealed to people who know the whereabouts of the persons of interest in the case to cooperate with authorities.
“There must be no distinction between the rich and the poor. Justice must be served, as peace and order in the city is one of the local government’s priority,” the mayor said.
A police report said Sagang was brought to the guard house of the subdivision in Muntinlupa where she was working over an alleged robbery last Jan. 12. Authorities then found her body in the Bulacan town about 60 kilometers north of Muntinlupa, while her head was discovered in a creek in Makati several days later.
Anyone with information on Sagang’s case may contact the Muntinlupa Police at the following numbers: 862-2611, 862-37-78, 862-1841, 543-0799, or 861-7922.
Southern Police District director P/Chief Supt. Tomas Apolinario said Sagang was shot under her chin, the bullet exiting her head.
The remains of the victim, a daughter of a farmer from Zamboanga del Norte, is currently in a morgue in Pasay City.
Muntinlupa City Administrator Allan Cachuela said this was the second time Fresnedi offered a reward for a criminal case. Fresnedi also gave a P100,000 reward for the arrest of the “Rentangay” group involved with the murder of Poblacion resident Paul Brazil.
