Human skull found at Makati gas station

A human skull with a bullet hole was found inside a plastic bag at a gasoline station early morning yesterday in Makati City.

The Makati City police said Ericson Domingo, a security guard of a Shell station along Vito Cruz Extension in Barangay La Paz was patrolling the premises when he spotted an orange colored plastic bag at 1:20 a.m.

Domingo picked it up thinking it contained trash. He was surprised to find out that the bag contained a human skull.

He immediately informed officials at Barangay La Paz about his find. The bag with its contents was turned over to the nearest police station.

"I was told by our security personnel that they saw a bullet hole in the skull," said Jess Dorente, barangay hall secretary.

The skull is now with the Crime Laboratory of the Philippine National Police, which will try to identify the victim through dental records. – Evelyn Macairan
