A social media post of one of the suspects in the brutal killing of Jang Lucero was stormed by mixed reactions from netizens.
The Facebook post of Ann Sheila Montes Belarmino was dated June 29, a day after the crime happened.
Belarmino shared a post about the killing of the 34-year-old female driver and captioned it with a crying emoticon.
“Nag-share pa na crying emoji yun pala suspect sya. Minsan may mga taong akala mo concern no? Pero may ibang binabalak pala,” said one commenter.
“‘Yan yung sinasabi nilang hindi lahat ng barkada mo may magandang dulot,” said another netizen.

On the other hand, not everyone is convinced that the 20-year-old suspect can hatch such a plot.
“Please pakitulungan po, may kababalaghang nangyayari dito pati sa mga investigation,” said one Facebook user.
Another advised the suspect, “Sana kung hindi ikaw ang totoong pumatay, ikanta mo nalang ‘yung mga totoong nasa likod ng karahasan na yan. Sana kung biktima kalang din, maging matapang ka sana sa paglalahad ng katotohanan.”
The suspect’s Facebook post has received more than 7,000 comments, as of this posting.
Almost a week after the crime, Belarmino was arrested by Calamba police last July 2.
They were able to identify her thanks to the back tattoo of the woman seen on CCTV footage that the police got hold off.
The tattoo matched the one seen in some of Belarmino’s photos on her Facebook account, according to Calamba police.
It turned out that Belarmino was the ex-girlfriend of Lucero’s present partner.
The investigators are looking at a love triangle as possible motive in the crime.
“Si Anne ay allegedly may konting selos dun sa biktima. Siya mismo yung sumakay sa saksakyan ng biktima and napaka-importante na na-identify siya dahil siya mismo yung kasama nung mga sumaksak sa biktima,” GMA news quoted a police official as saying.
The suspect is currently detained at the Calamba City Police Station. Police are still tracking down the whereabouts of the other suspects.
Lucero reportedly lost her job due to the coronavirus pandemic. She was moonlighting as a rent-a-car driver at the time of her death.
She was found lifeless with 52 stab wounds inside a rental car parked along Bucal ByPass Road.
