This day in history from:

Suicide not homicide... allegedly

Police are now saying suicide and not homicide.

Said this report:

Police on Tuesday said that probers now have more concrete evidence that a lawyer-critic of the late actor and presidential candidate Fernando Poe Jr. who reportedly committed suicide in Pasig City recently, ABS-CBN News reported.

Authorities based their statement on the autopsy report released Tuesday that indicated fingerprints found on the knife and box cutter used in Jeanette Tecson's death belonged to the victim.

The lawyer was found dead inside one of the rooms of a hotel on San Miguel Avenue in Ortigas Center on Saturday.

Before her body was discovered over the weekend, the hotel's security camera caught Tecson entering her room after checking in at the lobby on Wednesday last week.

She was seen leaving the room a few hours later with a plastic bag.

Hotel staff said she stayed inside the room for two days before her body was found.

The lawyer had three slashes on the wrist, three on the neck and a superficial stomach wound.

Police Scene of Crime Operations office said that such instances happen when victims were brave enough to kill themselves. The SOCO also cited another case it handled wherein the victim stabbed his neck with the use of a bolo.

In Tecson’s case, police said the victim probably wanted an instant death when she slashed her wrist but decided to inflict more wounds to speed up the process.

All the evidence, including the lipstick mark on the duct tape and the fingerprint exam result, supported the police’s theory of suicide. Police added that Tecson also sent suicide messages through her cell phone.

Probers, however, have yet to close the investigation and are not discounting the possibility of homicide.

Tecson was known for being one of the lawyers who blocked Poe's candidacy during the 2004 presidential election.

She was also the legal counsel and spokeswoman of the pre-need firm Pacific Plans in 2005 when the company was sued for failing to fulfill its obligation to plan holders.


A doctor-client merely remarked: "The very though of slashing one's wrist to kill oneself is enough to make people faint." But the police said there are people brave enough to kill themselves. Brave enough to face death than face life. Go figure.

Either she's so brave or something else.... But let's leave the investigation to the police. There's not much to be heard from the family, though.

So now that the cat's out of the bag, care to explain that previous cryptic entry of yours.

Do you have your 2 cents worth of what type of shit she'd gotten herself into to go this far? Spill it man! hahahahaha.

All I'm saying (and this is only my non-expert opinion), I don't believe it's suicide. But that's just me.

I don't have any more information than what I read in the news.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
