The lifeless body of an 11-year-old girl was found floating in a creek located in Barangay Basak, Mandaue, Cebu.

The girl was identified as Erica Cabatingan, who reportedly drowned, based on a report from TV5's 'Frontline Pilipinas.'

Her family had been searching for her, until they discovered her dead body floating in a creek just 100 meters away from their house.

According to the girl’s mother, it’s possible that her daughter suffered a seizure, which may have caused her to drown.

According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
