Body of Divinagracia tragedy suspect found in Camarines Sur

• Family of Marfe Hufancia confirmed that the body found in Cabusao carried items linked to him
• Police will still conduct a DNA test to verify the identity despite personal belongings matching
• Naga City Police said evidence against the suspect in the Divinagracia siblings’ case remains strong
• Authorities assured the public that the investigation will not end up like the dismissed Bandojo case

The family of Marfe Hufancia confirmed that the body found along the shoreline of Barangay Castillo in Cabusao, Camarines Sur matched his personal belongings. They identified him through a ring, a set of dentures, and work uniform recovered from the scene. According to initial reports, the ring was an engagement ring similar to the one worn by Clodette Jean Divinagracia, one of the victims in the Naga City case.

PCapt. Albert Joven of Cabusao Police said the remains will still undergo DNA testing to make sure the body is indeed Hufancia. While the personal items strongly suggest the identity, investigators want scientific confirmation before finalizing their report.

The discovery happened as police in Naga City continue to build the case surrounding the killing of siblings Clodette Jean and Clyde Divinagracia. PCOL. Gilbert Fariñas told the media that they already have physical evidence supported by statements and circumstantial information gathered during the investigation. He explained that they expect these to be further strengthened once the SOCO report and phone data analysis become available.

Naga City Police also said that their intelligence units monitored possible places that Hufancia could have gone outside the Bicol Region. This helped them narrow down leads before the body was eventually found. Authorities added that they want to assure the public that the case will not end up like the Bandojo incident, which was dismissed years ago due to lack of evidence.

The Divinagracia case has drawn attention online and within the community due to the tragic nature of the siblings’ death and the quick movement of investigators. Clodette and Clyde were known in their neighborhood as close siblings, and their passing has left many residents shaken.

Hufancia, who became the main person of interest, was previously linked to the victims through personal connections. His sudden disappearance fueled speculation as authorities continued the search. The items found on the recovered body added to the narrative that he might have tried to flee before the discovery in Cabusao.
