Call center agent’s friend yields

[seven_segment]

---

CEBU CITY -- Mandaue City’s police force is tracking down a woman and three men believed to be behind the killing of call center agent Lynn Vi Ebarita, a case that Chief Inspector Eddie Recamara described Tuesday as “90 percent” solved.

The “close friend” who offered information to the police was rushed to the hospital, along with her mother, before the friend could sign her confession.


The mother reportedly suffered a minor stroke while the friend was under observation after what appeared to be an anxiety attack.

Ebarita was stabbed 24 times and her body stuffed in a plastic bag placed outside a hotel room. The stench eventually led to the body’s discovery last January 22, five days after a woman first checked in and paid for the room.

After Ebarita’s death was reported, her “close friend” volunteered information to police investigators. These included printouts of some online chats between Ebarita and her US-based boyfriend, as well as between the friend and the boyfriend.

Investigators, however, noticed inconsistencies in the conversations, which they pursued until they pinned the friend down and she reportedly confessed her role in the attack.

Recamara requested that the names of the friend and the four others be withheld, to avoid jeopardizing the investigation.

Recamara is the chief of the Investigation and Detective Management Bureau.

Police have yet to establish what motivated Ebarita’s killers, and have ruled out love triangle, illegal drugs and robbery.

Ebarita’s boyfriend grew suspicious when, during a chat, the friend referred to him using a nickname that only his girlfriend used.

This made the police suspect that the friend had Ebarita’s cell phone, because she reportedly knew the victim’s personal messages to her boyfriend.

The close friend also initially told the police that she worked last January 18, while Ebarita went to the Nikkei Garden Hotel with the suspects.

But the police later learned she did not work at all on that day. They began to suspect she was with the victim and other suspects inside the hotel room.

Prior to the killing, the friend initially told the victim’s parents and the police that she asked her cousin to drop Ebarita off at the hotel on her way home.

That claim surprised Ebarita’s father.

It was the friend who told the police that Ebarita and the suspects initially had “a good time” inside the hotel room.

Police later said some of the suspects are the friend’s relatives from out of town, and that she arranged for the meeting in the hotel. (OCP/Sun.Star Cebu)

Pagpatay sa agent 90% nga nasulbad
Flor V. Querubin Sun.Star Superbalita

SUOD nga higala ug kauban sa trabaho niadtong call center agent nga gipatay ug gisud sa garbage bag sud sa usa ka hotel gikonsiderar sa kapulisan nga usa sa mga suspek pagpatay sa biktima.

Ang kadagkuan sa Teletech Call Center niduaw sa buhatan sa Mandaue City Police Office (MCPO) nga nagpahibawo nga andam sila nga makig-alayon sa imbestigasyon sa kapulisan.

Si C/Insp. Eddie Recamara sa MCPO nitug-an sa mga tigbalita nga 90 porsyento ila nang nasulbad ang murder case ni Lynn Vi Ebarita nga gidunggab patay sud sa Nikkei Garden Hotel sa barangay Subangdaku.

Dugang pa ni Recamara nga upat ka mga suspek ang gitumbok nga nalambigit sa kamatayon ni Ebarita apan mga ngalan kasamtangan nga gipugngan.

Ang nakuha nga mga impormasyon base sa gibutyag sa higala nga giingong nidiga sa mga impormasyon sa kapulisan.

Apan nagdumili ang kapulisan sa pagbutyag sa mga tigbalita sa bisan unsang impormasyon.

Ang nahisgutang suspek kinsa gisugdan na sa pagkuha sa iyang affidavit kagahapong adlawa, wa makatiwas kay nakuyapan.

Kasamtangan nga anaa kini sa tambalanan nga giingong gitauran og dextrose nga adunay police escort.

Nagduda ang mga imbestigador nga dako ang partisipasyon sa higala ni Ebarita sanglit daghan kinig mga impormasyon sa pagkatawo sa biktima nga iyang nasayran.

Usa na niini ang iyang gihatag nga printout sa kapulisan sa iyang pakig-chat sa hinigugma ni Ebarita nga atua sa gawas sa nasod.

Gikahibulong sa lalake (boyfriend ni Ebarita) nga nigamit kini sa pulong diin siya lang ug ang biktima nasayod sa tinawganay sa higayon nga sila mag-chat ingon man magbinayluay sa text message diha sa ilang cellular phones.

Nitumaw ang pagduda nga hayan anaa sa higala ang cellphone o simpack nga gipanag-iya ni Ebarita human patya.

Samtang ang kabanay sa biktima nga didto sa buhatan sa MCPO nga nagpakisayod sa dagan sa imbestigasyon nakamatikod usab sa dakong kausaban sa suod nga higala sa ilang anak.

Gihulagway nga nagpunay og alindasay sa higayon nga aduna silay pangutana ngadto kaniya.

Sa laing bahin, mga imbestigador sa MCPO nipadayag sa ilang pagkadismaya sa kadagkuan sa Teletech kay sa ilang pagduaw sa establisemento nagdumili kini sa pakig-atubang.

Gipangayoan pa silag search warrant nga naghatag kanila og katungod nga makakuha og mga impormasyon diha sa sud.

The friend has admitted to the crime according to the father earlier. (my gf was in rolling hills and talked to lynn vi's mother and father)
the suspect is in custody and she is detained.
according to the mother. ENVY could be the only reason for the crime.
her father also mentioned her accomplices were from her hometown and they are all in hiding right now.
but the main suspect is in custody.

please continue to pray for the eternal repose of her soul.

Police hold friend as 'slay suspect'
By Flor Z. Perolina Updated January 28, 2009 12:00 AM

Cebu - One of the suspects involved in the killing of a call center supervisor last week is now under the protective custody of the police after she confessed participation in crime and named four other cohorts.

Although police are now discounting the possibility of a love triangle, they still could not ascertain the motive of the killing.

This is because the investigation was cut short last Monday afternoon when the suspect’s mother, who accompanied her was rushed to the hospital after she suffered a “mild stroke” during the questioning.

The investigation resumed yesterday morning, but when she was already starting to give her free and voluntary statement, the investigation was halted after the suspect herself got hysterical and collapsed. Police also brought her to the hospital.

Hours after being brought to the hospital, the suspect asked an investigator to visit her at the hospital were she finally confessed her participation to the crime and named her cohorts.

Since the investigation was halted with the suspect’s confinement, the police are yet to determine the extent of her participation in the crime and the real motive in the killing.

However, Intelligence and Detective Management Bureau (IDMB) Chief Eddie Recamara said that although the case is now 90 percent solved with the confession of the victim’s close friend, they cannot yet divulge the names of her four alleged cohorts until the case will be filed in court.

What triggered the investigators to doubt the suspect was the inconsistency in the information she provided to the police.

She also allegedly offered evidence supposedly to mislead the police in their investigation.

However, one of the evidence she presented to the police supposedly to mislead them also forced her to confess later of her participation.

During the course of investigation yesterday morning, the suspect who presented a print out of her chat messages to the victim’s boyfriend has convinced the police that the victim’s cellular phone, which was missing after her death, is with the suspect.

Police said they were convinced that the victim’s cellular phone was with the suspect, this after they also called up the victim’s boyfriend who was also surprised why the suspect was able to use the “codename” which he and victim used during their chats, which only he an Lynn Vi Ybarita, the victim, knew.

Police said that the suspect was able to chat with Ybarita’s boyfriend last January 20 and 21, and the victim was already dead by then.

The victim’s boyfriend also knew that it was not Ybarita who he was chatting with as the other person was using a different online account.

It was at this point of her confession that the suspect became hysterical and collapsed.

Late last night, sources at the Mandaue City Police Office said that the suspect has retracted her statements.

Ybarita’s body was found stuffed into two trash bags inside room 309 of the Nikkei Garden Hotel in barangay Subangdaku, Mandaue City last January 22 at 8 p.m.

The body of Ybarita, which was shed of its clothes, bore 24 stab wounds.

Ybarita, 26, was a single mother with a seven-year-old child.

She worked at Teletech, a call center, which has offices along A. S. Fortuna St.

The family of Ybarita reported her missing last January 20. She was last seen by her parents during the Sinulog grand parade last January 18. –/NLQ (THE FREEMAN)
