The source, according to Metro PUNCH, clarified that the deceased was murdered inside her room. And that her body was thereafter dragged from the spot outside the gate where it was dumped.
“The suspects attempted to clean up the blood stains but missed some spots because the act was perpetrated at night,” the source said.
“The deceased was killed in her room and her body was dragged to the front of the gate. That was to make it look like she was killed on the spot. After that, all the blood stains were carefully cleaned but still, they missed some spots. They did not clean it well because it happened at night.”
“The house help did not deny what happened. She said, ‘We do am, na we do am’, during an interrogation. And everything she said tallied with the evidence on the ground.” the police source disclosed.
“The suspects were also said to have immediately packed all the valuables of the deceased after killing their boss.
The source also confirmed that the three domestic workers were employed at the same time a week before the incident.
