CEBU CITY – The body of a 14-year-old girl was found inside a septic tank in a school in Barangay Cogon, Danao City, Cebu.
Police Lt. Col. Maribel Getigan, chief of the Danao City police, identified the girl as Tessa Marie Igay, a Grade 9 student. Getigan said the girl was reported missing since last week.
A utility worker discovered the body around 11 a.m. yesterday while tracing a pungent odor coming from the septic tank.
Getigan said it was last Saturday when the girl’s family reported to the police station that the girl had not gone home since last Friday.
The police official said one of the security guards of the school is being considered “a person of interest.”
“This 34-year-old security guard is reportedly a lover of the girl. The girl would usually visit the security guard in the school where he was detailed,” said Getigan. (Calvin D. Cordova)
