A 16-year-old girl was found dead in her home in Angono, Rizal last Sunday morning, police said.
Col. Felipe Maraggun, Rizal PPO director, identified the girl as Jazz, a grade 11 student and resident of Kaluwalhatian Village in Barangay San Isidro.
The girl apparently stayed alone in the house most of the time. Her mother is an overseas worker in Saudi Arabia while her father works as a painter in Calamba City, Laguna.
Her parents’ last communication with Jazz was on January 30, when she sent them a text message. After that, she failed to respond to messages and calls from her parents.
Last February 2, the father asked neighbors to check on his daughter. When the neighbors arrived, they were greeted by a foul odor.
After knocking several times without receiving a response, they forcibly opened the door and discovered the victim’s lifeless body in her room. Nothing appeared missing in the house nor were there signs of foul play, police said.
