A grisly discovery disturbed the early morning peace in Basud, Camarines Norte, after a woman’s body was found abandoned inside a plastic container. On Friday morning, January 2, residents of Barangay Pinagwarasan were shocked to see a black storage box drifting in the river beneath the Pinagwarasan Bridge.

According to the Basud Municipal Police Station, locals first spotted the suspicious floating object around 4:30 AM. However, it was not until 7:00 AM that the authorities were officially notified. Police and the Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) team immediately responded to the scene at Purok 1 to retrieve the container.

When investigators opened the box, they found the remains of a woman dressed in a white t-shirt and black leggings. Before being forced into the plastic box, her body had been carefully wrapped in a brown blanket. As of this writing, the identity of the victim remains a mystery as no identification cards or documents were found at the scene.

The Basud MPS is now working double time to gather any information that could lead to her name. One of the strongest leads they have are the distinct tattoos located on the victim’s chest and shoulders. Authorities believe these markings could be the key to her family recognizing her.

Currently, police officers are scouring neighboring barangays and towns to check for any recent missing persons reports. They are also looking for potential witnesses who may have seen a vehicle or individuals dumping the heavy box from the bridge during the late hours of the night.

The Basud Municipal Police Station has issued a public plea for cooperation. They are urging anyone who noticed suspicious behavior near the Pinagwarasan Bridge or anyone who knows a woman matching the description to come forward immediately. Justice for the victim, they added, depends heavily on the community’s willingness to share what they know.

The river where the body was found is a known landmark in the area, and the brazen nature of the crime has left the local community in a state of alarm. As the investigation continues, the police remain hopeful that the forensic evidence collected by the SOCO team will provide more answers regarding how the victim died and who is responsible for this heartless act.
