CARCAR CITY, Cebu — The family of Miguela Pocong Barino — an 83-year-old woman found decapitated in Barangay Candabong in Dumanjug town in Cebu — is urging authorities to reopen their investigation, expressing doubts over police findings that her pet dogs may have severed her head.

Emedio Pocong, the woman's 80-year-old younger brother, is skeptical that Barino's four dogs could have caused such an injury, adding it is unlikely for a person who has been dead for two days to have his or her head naturally separate from the body.
