- Teddy Molina -

LAOAG CITY – Investigators suspect that drug addicts were behind the brutal killing of two local teenage girls, one of them stabbed 18 times.

Police identified the fatalities as 15-year-old Imee Leah Marcos, a high school student, and Christine Joy Barroga, 18, both neighbors in Barangay Buttong this city.

Marcos’ body had 18 stab wounds, and Barroga’s, six.

Investigation showed that the two girls had been missing for nine days before fishermen separately found their bodies along the banks of Padsan River in Barangays Uno and La Paz here last Saturday morning.

Police picked up four young men for questioning yesterday after a witness said the victims were having fun with a group near the river in Barangay Uno the night before their bodies were discovered.
