ILOILO City – The woman “salvaged” in Dumangas, Iloilo early this week may have problems with those she had debts with, police said.

According to Police Major Jogen Suegay, Dumangas police chief, the 29-year-old Marlyn Serdeña of Barangay San Miguel, Buenavista, Guimaras was not a member of the Budol-budong Gang but a fish broker at the Iloilo Fishing Port Complex in Molo district here.

She had debts with other fish brokers, said Suegay.

Serdeña was temporarily residing in Barangay, Calumpang, Molo. Police learned that she had a misunderstanding with other fish brokers.

“Based on our investigation, nangbaldog siya pero wala sang kaso nga ginpasaka sa iya,” said Suegay.

The Dumangas police, however, had not named any suspect.

Serdeña was shot dead in Barangay Talusan, Dumangas on May 28.

Her mother Marilou said the last time she had talked to her daughter was on May 23.

Serdeña was last seen alive on May 24 in Molo.

No spent bullet shells were recovered from the area where her body was found but police learned from residents they heard four successive bursts of gunfire.

Suegay said the killer/s may have used a revolver, not a pistol.

A blue car with no license plate was seen leaving the area just minutes after gunshots were heard, residents further told the police./PN
