Residents in Rodriguez have since called for increased patrols and security measures in the area.

Meanwhile, police urged anyone with information about the victim or suspects to come forward to aid in the ongoing investigation.

Authorities are also reviewing nearby CCTV footage to trace possible leads and identify the perpetrators behind the gruesome killing.

These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, this could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable to one's daily life.
