A picture of victim Teacher Jolly Butawan placed in her coffin
CAVITE, Philippines – Teacher Jolly Butawan was stabbed to death inside her home at GMA Village in Barangay Poblacion Singko, in the municipality of General Mariano Alvarez on the evening of Sunday (December 23).
Teacher Jolly sustained 30 stab wounds in different parts of her body which eventually caused her death.
Her brother Joseph can only remember her as a kind person and their family still cannot believe that his sister is gone.
“Nagtataka kami kung bakit nangyari sa kaniya ito. Wala po siyang kaaway. Sa katunayan nga po kung kayo’y magtatanong-tanong diyan sa paligid kung anong klaseng tao po itong kapatid ko ay puro positive po ang masasabi sa kaniya,” Joseph said.
The GMA police is looking into robbery as the main motive of the incident.
“Initially ang motibo ng pagnanakaw kasi base na rin doon sa kamaganak at doon sa crime scene processing na ginawa ng PPNP-SOCO, nawala nga iyong mahalagang gamit tulad ng cellphone, alahas at pera,” explained GMA Police Chief PCInsp. Romulo Dela Rea.
Authorities, meanwhile, confirmed that they already have one person of interest based on the recovered CCTV footage and from the testimonies of the witnesses.
In one of the videos, the potential suspect was seen standing inside a computer shop holding the victim’s mobile phone.
Teacher Jolly’s family calls on the authorities to find justice for her murder.
“Sana po ay mahuli po ang pumatay sa aking mahal na kapatid at sana rin po kung ano po ang parusa na dapat maibigay sa kaniya ay maibigay po sana,” Joseph said as he called for immediate action from the government.
