Man arrested for hacking wife, burning remains
The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has arrested a retired military personnel who admitted killing his wife and burning her remains last January.
The NBI has filed parricide charges against Garsulo Saranillo, 45, a resident of Barangay Bagtas in Tanza,
NBI Director Nestor Mantaring said the parents of Saranillo’s wife, Anabelle, sought help from GMA-7’s Imbestigator television program. They said their daughter went missing after a heated altercation with her husband on Jan. 17.
The couple’s daughters, aged five and seven, narrated that they saw their father strangle their mother with a length of wire, hang her, then shoot her in the stomach after their fight.
The children said their father chopped their mother’s body into pieces and burned them in the bathroom. They said Saranillo then told them he would kill them if they tell anyone what they had seen.
Last May 7, Saranillo himself confirmed his children’s story and confessed that he stuffed his wife’s burnt body in a sack, drove to a remote area in Barangay De Ocampo, Trece Martires, Cavite, and dumped her remains.
