Luigi Olivar, who had been missing since Wednesday afternoon, was identified by his mother Loida. Bruises were seen on the boy’s body.

According to Loida, Luigi had been helping him wash the dishes and do the laundry despite his mental disability. The boy went out of their house when the water had stopped as he was doing the chores.
