2 househelp admit to killing woman, 86, in P’que

TWO domestic helpers have admitted to killing an 86-year-old woman in Paranaque City -- the sister of a public relations practitioner -- last May 4 and taking her ATM card to get her money, then framing another house helper for the crime.

Agents of the National Bureau of In- vestigation filed charges of robbery with homicide against the two suspects, named “Ken” and “Juliet”, after they owned up to the killing of Noemi Dacuycuy.

A month after leaving their employer bloodied and lifeless at her home, the two were caught on CCTV video withdrawing money from a bank us- ing the victim’s ATM card. They later pointed to their fellow helper, a man, as the suspect to the Paranaque police. But invited for questioning by the NBI after the video was discovered, the suspects admitted tearfully to the slaying, then agreed to reenact the crime for investigators.
