The Department of Justice (DOJ) is poised to prosecute 28-year-old man who has admitted to killing his own mother and tried to conceal his crime by placing her body in a storage box and leaving it in an isolated place in Bulacan.
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed before the DOJ a complaint for parricide against Raymund Villastique who owned up slaying his mother inside their house in Pasig City.
“The NBI-AOTCD (Anti-Organized and Transnational Crime Division) brought Raymund Villastique to the DOJ for inquest proceedings. He was charged for parricide,” NBI spokesperson Giselle Dumlao said in a text message.
Raymund surrendered to the Pasig police and confessed to the killing.
Dumlao said Raymund had executed a confession on March 13 and admitted to killing his mother inside their house in Pasig City.
She said they have also conducted an examination of the house and found bloodstains, plus they also have CCTV footage showing him dragging the storage box to his vehicle.
The body of Raymund’s mother, 67-year-old Maria Estrella Villastique, was found inside a storage box in Sitio Kanyakan, Barangay Matictic in Norzagaray, Bulacan.
Dumlao said the murder weapon was not recovered as Raymund admitted that he threw it at a passing garbage truck.
