FULL TEXT: Sixteen
year old Avelina Teodoro, of San Fernando, self-confessed murderer of her
classmate, Constancia Pineda, also 16 years old, broke down when the sentence
sending her to prison for life was read to her. Last September, Constancia’s
body was found on the grounds of the Arayat Elementary School, pierced with a
score of knife wounds.
After some difficulties in the tracing of the murderer, the fingerprints on the body and the blood stains on Avelina’s clothing and books point out to the author of the crime. At first, Avelina denied the crime, pointing to Hilario Lugtu as the murderer, but confronted with the clues discovered, she confessed to the crime.
