The Mysterious Case of Christine Silawan

Alvin Ilustrisimo

If you are a fan of a gore horror movies the bloody scene of how psychopaths kill their prey may excites you. But what if it will happen in real life? Would you still get excited?

In Lapu-Lapu City there was a girl who named Christine Silawan who was murdered badly by an unknown suspect. The victim’s body was found dead in some vacant lot in Barangay Bangkal. Christine was mutilated and her face was skinned, her face was literally gone. And not just that, according to autopsy report her body was stabbed 30 times in both body and neck. Other than that, her tongue, trachea, esophagus, some parts of her neck, and also her right ear were all missing.
The gruesome incident was like a scene in a movie where the victim was killed in a very brutal way. Based on the reports aforementioned, the killer is not just and ordinary murderer. In the first place who in the right mind would do such thing.

The incident was so noisy it reaches the chair of the president. President Duterte ordered a manhunt for the killer of the horrifying case of Christine Lee Silawan

As of today, the bounty for the murderer of Christine Silayan reaches P 2 million. The P1 million reward money came from the Lapu-Lapu City government. Other than the bounty, Presidential assistant Michael Dino handed a P20,000 cash assistance for the family of the victim.

A psychopath roaming around Lapu-Lapu city with a high bounty on his head is like a killer in a Hollywood movie, except it happens in real life. Other than the reports, the Lapu-Lapu police see an angle that the teenager was killed by a cult. If we are going to base the movie in real life, we could also see that angle too. Knowing that the victim’s body lost its internal organs and an ear.

The motive of the suspect is not entirely sure. Why would he, she, or they do that to a helpless girl. But there’s one thing I know, the killer/s must be immediately seized or else they might kill one another. The murderer is as mad as the killers we are seeing in the movie. What if his or her next victim will be chosen in random. Whatever it is, we must all be aware and careful. There’s danger everywhere, not just in Lapu-Lapu City.
