After the arrest, authorities brought him and his vehicle to the Rodriguez Municipal Police Station. Officers inspected the items inside the vehicle and conducted an inventory.

Among the items recovered were a cellphone, a charger, and other personal belongings, according to the report. It did not establish whether any of these items were connected to the woman’s death.

The man declined to give a statement to the news team. However, police said he denied being at the location when the incident happened.

“Wala daw po doon siya sa area nung nangyari yung insidente,” a police officer said in the report.

That account was relayed by investigators. The man had not personally addressed the allegation in an interview with the reporter.

The investigation began after the apartment’s landlord contacted police about a foul smell coming from the unit. Authorities subsequently discovered the woman’s body wrapped in a blanket inside the refrigerator.
