CEBU CITY, Philippines — Consolacion police are trying to identify the dead man, whose face has been covered with duct tape and whose hands have been tied with a cable tie.

The man’s body was found in Barangay Garing, a mountain barangay in Consolacion town in northern Cebu and it was found by a resident in the area at past 9 a.m. today, November 19, 2020, said Police Major Vernino Noserale, Consolacion Police Station chief.
