Philippines farmer beheads, then rapes 13-year-old girl

A 13-year-old girl was first beheaded and then raped by a farmer who loved watching horror and pornographic films, in the southern Philippine province of Zamboanga del Sur.

The suspect, Alex Bulalo, was arrested on Saturday morning, as he was present when the police exhumed the remains of Mary Apple Entag, in Bayog town.

The tabloid ‘Pilipino Star Ngayon’ on Tuesday quoted Police Inspector Gaspar Gadingan as saying that the cops noticed Bulalo as being uneasy and acting very strangely, so they approached him to ask if he knew something about the crime.

Gadingan said that Bulalo readily admitted to having beheaded the girl and then raping her before he buried her dead body in a remote area in Bayog’s Barangay Kahayagan.

Bulalo allegedly added that the crime happened last Tuesday.

Gadingan, who revealed of an initial investigation that Entag had gone missing since last week, said one witness had told him of having seen a girl being dragged by a man, armed with a farming knife and whose head and face were covered, on that same day.

But the eyewitness said she saw this from afar, and wasn’t sure then of what she was seeing, so she did not alert the police, radio reports said.

Entag’s decomposing remains were discovered after residents in Barangay Kahayagan complained to the police of the foul smell coming from somewhere near their place.

Gadingan said the suspect had admitted to him that it was his heavy watching of porn and horror movies that prompted him to kill and rape the victim.
