THE National Bureau of Investigation yesterday said it has created a task force to determine the person or persons behind the severed body parts contained in a sack found in front of the agency’s Bacolod city regional office.
NBI Director Medardo de Lemos said NBI Deputy Director for Operations Jose Justo Yap will lead the task force.
“The task force will thoroughly conduct an investigation and apprehend those who are behind this nefarious act,” De Lemos said.
Initial reports received by the NBI head office showed a sack containing the dismembered human body parts was first noticed by a makeshift storeowner across the NBI-Bacolod City office last Friday, March 1.
“She disclosed that she initially assumed that the sack contained frozen food, which fell off the NBI vehicle,” De Lemos said.
The store owner asked an NBI volunteer to bring the sack near the gate of the agency’s regional office and then called the attention of an NBI employee, who in turn opened the sack.
Found inside the sack were a dismembered left arm, left leg from the knees and two ears.
