MANILA, Philippines - A decomposing body of a person was found in Barangay Poblacion, Makati City, early Friday.
The body, stuffed in a large suitcase, was found by a garbage collector at the corner of Jacobo and Firmena streets before 6 a.m.
Police investigators could not immediately conclude if the victim was male or female because the person's face was unrecognizable.
Investigators said that some residents saw a taxi stop at the same spot where the suitcase was abandoned.
Police were also looking for close-circuit television cameras in the area.
