Near her body were a knife and a wire believed to have been used to kill her.

Cavite Philippine National Police’s SPO2 Deogenes Zonio said: “Maaaring 'yung wire din ginamit to strangulate.”

Justice sought for slain 25-year-old account executive

(UPDATE) Family and friends are seeking justice for Kristelle "Kae" Davantes, an advertising executive reportedly abducted in Bonifacio Global City Taguig and later found dead in Cavite.

On social networking site Facebook, the page "Justice for KAE" has been created by the victim's family and friends. "Families and friends, let's all unite. We will not stop until we find justice. #justiceforkae," according to the page.

Davantes, described by her co-worker Budjette Tan as "hard-working and passionate," was last seen driving out of the parking area, after a night-out in Bonifacio Global City

"One of my last meetings with her was about an upcoming pitch. She said she wanted to personally handle the project because she was determined to win it. Despite all the OT we do and all the weekly workload that leave us with little personal time, she was still excited to work on a new project and win a new account," Tan said in his Facebook post.

Davantes, who was working as a senior account manager at the advertising agency, McCann World Group Philippines' MRM, was last seen Friday night and "Kae", as she was fondly called by friends, never got home.

According to an ABS-CBN report, Davantes' body was found on the Tibagan Bridge in Barangay Sabutan in Silang, Cavite at around 6am last Saturday. Her mouth was covered with a handkerchief while her hands were tied using a car seatbelt. Her neck also bore several wounds. A knife and a piece of wire were also found near Davantes' dead body, leading Cavite Police to suspect that she may have been strangled.

According to the advertising publication, Adobo Magazine, Davantes' car with plate number PIM 966 is still missing.

"To those asking for additional details, we will inform you at the right time. We'd appreciate that you give us time to grieve on this tragic moment that has come to our family," a post in the page added.

^So your niece was with her on the the night she went missing? It is so sad and scary at the same time. I always thought BGC was a safe area and would sometimes walk past midnight in the area.

I saw some FB announcements that she was missing and on the next day, they found her already. Somehow this had affected me much because she has such an angelic looking face and she didn't deserve to be treated that way. I hope the culprit gets caught and may their souls burn in hell for all eternity, plus 1 day.

Cavite na naman.
Panahon pa ng kastila provincia de los bandidos na, hangang ngayon probinsiya pa din ng mga smugglers, carnapers, kidnappers, gun runners, gun for hire, at probinsiya na din ng mga revilla. May progress!

pasensya sa mga cavitenyo, nagsasabi lang ng totoo.

Cavite also does not make a good impression on me. Apologies din to those that live in Cavite.
