Killed for her cellphone

Textmate admits killing his female date

CEBU CITY, Philippines - Who would have known a textmate would kill his date over a cellphone worth less than P4,000?

The police on Monday arrested an out-of-work construction laborer who admitted he was “Michael,” the textmate of Emily Nuñeza, who ended up raped and murdered in the Mandaue reclamation area.

Julius Coton, 26, admitted choking the woman with a nylon rope after she threatened to report him to the authorities for refusing to return her Nokia 2600 phone.

Coton said that after the girl fell unconscious, he dragged her to a vacant lot at the reclamation area, tied her up and raped her.

When she regained consciousness, Nuñeza threatened to send the man to jail for molesting her.

It was then that Coton allegedly choked her to death.

Coton, a native of Aurora town in Zamboanga province, will be charged with murder with rape at the Mandaue prosecutor's office.

He was earlier identified as “Michael,” the name he gave to Nuñeza, an employee of the Mactan Export Zone (MEZ) when they first met through the on-air dating program “Hi Pangga” of Energy-FM.

The police later found Nuñeza's cellular phone and three other phones that Coton had duped from other women and later sold for P300 to P600 each.

Leonida Nuñeza-Juezan, elder sister of the victim, said their family wants the death penalty for Coton.

“Lagot kaayo mi niya! Maayong siyang patyon. Kamatayon unta silot niya. Pait kayo iya gibuhat (We are angry at him. He should be meted with the death penalty for what he did),” she said.

Coton said he would meet some women, mostly housemaids, through the radio program, where his cellphone number would be aired in the “Wanted Textmate” portion of the show.

Females would establish contact by sending him a text message.

He said he got four “girlfriends” this way and would maneuver to steal their cellphones and sell them. Nuñeza was target No. 5.

Coton said he came to Cebu to look for a job and stayed with his uncle in Barangay (village) Canduman, Mandaue.

After Nuñeza was killed, he said he stayed with a friend in Sitio (district) Aroma, Barangay Subangdaku, also in Mandaue. He denied that he went into hiding.

Coton was identified through the description given by friends of Nuñeza who accompanied the victim during her date with the suspect on January 22.

Her friends also accompanied Nuñeza, but stayed at a distance, when she met him again on January 23 to confront him about her missing phone.

The cartographic sketch of “Michael” was shown to program host “Inday Misyel,” whose real name is Ramil Albaño. He told police that he recognized the suspect as someone he met twice before at the radio station in Barangay Kalunasan, Cebu City.

Coton was traced after the buyer of Nuñeza's stolen cellphone reported to the police his purchase of a Nokia 2600 similar to the one owned by the victim.

A raid was set up.

Coton was arrested about 5:30 a. m. yesterday at his friend’s home in Sitio Aroma, Barangay Subangdaku by Inspector George Aniñon and members of the homicide section.

Coton did not resist arrest. He said he was preparing his biodata and picture because he was applying for a job in a construction firm when the policemen arrived.

“I was just here at Aroma. I was not hiding. I didn't know that the police were looking for me,” Coton said in Cebuano.

He described meeting Nuñeza through the radio show. She called up his cellphone after his number was broadcast.

On their first date on January 21, they met at Tinong's Bakery in Barangay Basak in Lapu-Lapu City about 4 p.m. after she got off work at Atomed Cebu Inc. at the MEZ.

At that time, a roommate chaperoned Nuñeza. But her friend left them after the two went to the Mactan Shrine where they stayed from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.

Then Nuñeza told Coton that she did not like him at all. Although irked by the rebuke, Coton said he told the young woman he would get something to eat for dinner, although he had no plans of returning.

Sensing he was trying to slip away, the woman told him to leave his cellphone. With some reluctance, he left his China-made i-phone clone, which was owned by his girlfriend. He, in turn, took her Nokia 2600.

Coton did not return. Nuñeza, who did not know how to use the fancier i-phone, used her roommate's mobile unit to contact Coton and ask to meet again so she could get her phone back.

By then Coton had already sold the phone.

But he didn’t tell her so and arranged for another meeting at fastfood joint at the Mandaue reclamation area on January 23. He also told her not to tell anyone about the meeting, especially the police.

At the parking lot of Jollibee, Coton told his textmate he had already sold her phone.

She threatened to report him to the police. At this point, Coton said he grabbed a nylon rope left in a nearby trailer truck and strangled Nuñeza until she fell unconscious.

He said he tied her up and dragged her to a vacant lot at the back of a gas station about 10 meters from the fastfood joint.

Friends, who had tried to follow Nuñeza’s movements, had lost sight of her. The two were standing between a trailer truck and multi-cab.

Coton said he then raped the woman. When Nuñeza regained consciousness, the victim threatened to send him to jail for attacking her and taking her cellular phone.

Coton said he choked the victim again with the nylon rope until she died. He then covered her with dried leaves before running off.

The woman’s body was found five days later on January 28 by a security guard.

Police Officer 2 Gilbert Dela Cruz of the Mandaue homicide section said he believed that Coton actually brought the rope with him and had the intention to kill the woman to silence her and avoid exposing his modus operandi.

Senior Superintendent Orlando Ualat, Mandaue City police director, commended his men for solving the case through old-fashion sleuthing.

“Through hard work and dedication, we were able to arrest the suspect. We give credit to my investigators. They did not rest (until the suspect was arrested),” Ualat said.

Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes congratulated the police for the arrest of Coton and another suspect in last month’s killing of a call center supervisor. Both cases were solved a few days after the discovery of the crimes. /With a report from Correspondent Jhunnex Napallacan

social orientation doesn't have anything to do with being a "humok og ilong"... daghang college girls og mga professionals nga humok og ilong ah! (based on my experience)...

ang biga naa sa mga ugat og nagdagan sa mga dugo.. mapugngan pa ang baha pero dili ang biga..

Sorry but in my POV, I think it does.

If you've noticed, most of them always...and I mean ALWAYS would go and jive into "what's in". Mapa music, fashion, beauty products, ways in finding a BF and whatsoever coz they think it's cool and trendy. That's what I've observed lang. Pero, you have your own opinion and I have mine. Di ba?

And you're right na daghan sad na professionals and college level people ang "humok ug ilong".

@toyackz605

I agree. Higher education does make a big influence on a person's way of thinking.
