The family of 19-year old Melcha “Jenjen” Melgar is seeking for genuine justice as she was found dead in a sugarcane plantation 500 meters away from her home in Purok Tinago Sambag, Brgy. Alijis, Bacolod City.
According to autopsy reports, Jenjen was brutally murdered and her assailant used extraordinary force which caused her head to nearly detach from her body. In addition, because of so much force, most of her bones in the neck were dislocated, allowing her head to make a full 360 degree turn.
Reports said that although her murderer is still unidentified, stories of the witnesses are determining that there is a great possibility that Jenjen’s rejected suitor is probably her assailant.
According to sources, Jenjen was seen to be offered by a motorcycle ride by an unidentified man on the morning of her death. Jenjen reluctantly rejected the offer and when asked if the man was her boyfriend, she emphatically said “No”.
Hours later, Jenjen was seen boarding a jeepney bound for her home after spending the day with her friends. At this point of the story, speculations were triggered that her murdered must have been waiting for her at the crime scene.
Claims from witnesses said that a woman passed by at the crime scene and she heard what she thought were romantic expressions so she did not bother to investigate. Another anonymous witness claimed that he passed by the spot and heard moans so he threw a piece of rock at the direction of the noise. However, actions stopped from there on so he just continued moving his way. Moments later, two grade school students saw a bearded man wearing a black shirt coming from the sugarcane plantation going to the main road. They said they had told their parents about it but their parents thought that it was just a normal incidence seeing a person emerging from the plantation.
The next morning when Jenjen’s family was already seeking help from their neighbors, the claims from the witnesses made sense and so they went hurriedly on the spot of the crime scene. All of them were shocked to see Jenjen’s lifeless body face-down lying on the muddy ground.
Aside from the cause of her death, autopsy reports also said that she was not raped as her hymen is still intact. However, she was seen with her pants pulled down but was apparently pulled up by her sister to preserve some of her dignity before the cops arrive.
Jessica Genabe, Jenjen’s aunt shared with DYHB Tatak RMN Page the doctor’s findings in her autpsy report. The page published it on their Facebook post:
