One of the victims was confirmed to be Leah Tongol, who was reportedly killed in Malate last April.

According to her family, they were unable to retrieve her remains after the funeral home demanded P150,000, an amount they could not afford.

Another body was identified as Rennan Pornobi, who was also slain in Ermita in April. His remains were initially brought home for a wake but were taken back by the funeral home after his family failed to settle the outstanding balance of P85,000.
