A CELL PHONE screen saver led to the arrest of the alleged killer of a call center agent last Monday night.

Police filed a robbery with homicide case against Jerome Oporto, 30, yesterday.

Asked what the motive of the killing was, Mandaue City Police Office Director Rodel Calungsud said that Oporto admitted he was drunk when Cheryl Reyuma slapped him in the face, prompting him to stab her in the chest.

Oporto denied raping her, though she was only dressed in panties when her decomposing body was found, the police chief added.

After pursuing all possible leads, Police Station 1 operatives recovered Reyuma?s cellular phone and arrested Oporto. Reyuma and Oporto reportedly knew each other because they were neighbors.

Mandaue City Vice Mayor Carlo Fortuna, who went to the police station upon learning of Oporto?s arrest, said the suspect was assisted by a public counsel when he admitted to the crime.

Fortuna?s aide, who asked not to be named and is related to the suspect, said Oporto?s parents formerly owned Reyuma?s house. His parents then sold it to her parents, which explained why the suspect knew the layout of the house well.

Calungsud said that Oporto was reportedly peeping on the victim prior to the killing.

When she caught him, he pretended to knock on her door and asked her if he could borrow P200 from her.

She opened the door and slapped Oporto?s face. So he pushed her inside and stabbed her once in the chest.

However, Calungsod finds it unbelievable that a woman would answer a knock on the door wearing nothing but her panties.

After killing her, Oporto reportedly locked the front door. He allegedly took her cell phone, fled through the back door and jumped over the fence. A witness saw him go out the back.

The police director said that Reyuma?s cell phone screen saver had her picture with her child, and this led to the arrest of the suspect.

Jeffrey Lumapas, a dispatcher, admitted in an ABS-CBN interview that Oporto asked him to sell Reyuma?s cell phone.

A barangay tanod saw Lumapas bringing the cell phone with the screen saver and said the photo was similar to the poster Reyuma?s relatives distributed to help solve the crime, Calungsud said.

The tanod immediately informed the authorities. Lumapas cooperated with the police and led them to Oporto.

Reyuma, 28, was found inside her house in Barangay Guizo last March 22 with a stab wound in the chest.

PNP Medico Legal Officer Benjamin Lara, in an earlier interview, said it was hard to determine if she was raped, as her body was already in an advanced state of decomposition.

My 6th grade classmate got killed. To sum up the article, her neighbor was charged with her murder. They found her body three days after the crime. It was in the advance stages of decomposition, so they are having a hard time determining whether she was raped or not. They speculate rape because she was found with just her panties on.

What's a P200? huh?

You're in 6th grade and you're on ATOT?

I'm sorry to hear about what happened.

Edit: 6th grade a long time ago?

Wait... you're in 6th grade, and have been registered for 7 years? Or are you saying that a girl who you went to 6th grade with many years ago? If the latter, how old was she at the time of this crime?

edit: n/m, I suck at reading. 28 apparantly.

Yeah, parts of it are not easily decipherable. For example:

A barangay tanod saw Lumapas bringing the cell phone with the screen saver and said the photo was similar to the poster Reyuma?s relatives distributed to help solve the crime, Calungsud said.

The tanod immediately informed the authorities. Lumapas cooperated with the police and led them to Oporto.

WTF is a "barangay tanod"?

If you followed the link, you will realize that the article is from the Philippines. P200 is referring to 200 Pesos (currency). This is roughly equal to $5. To answer some of your questions, I am not in 6th grade. I went to school with this girl, and we used to tease her lightheartedly about having a crush on another classmate. The circumstances of her death gives me a shocking and sad feeling. Just to give you guys an idea on how close knit most classes are in the Philippines -- We were assigned to one class room and instead of the students going to different rooms for different classes the teachers were the ones who changed classrooms. Pretty much we were stuck with each other the whole day for a year or sometimes more. The only change the students did was to switch seating arrangements based on the teacher's preference.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't realized that they didn't translate certain words into English. In this case, there is no direct translation for "barangay tanod" in English. This word is somewhat synonymous to a village chief except he really doesn't have that much authority. This person does not receive any funding from the government.
