Justice sought for slain 25-year-old account executive


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.

The family also posted a poem dedicated for Kae, part of which read:

"My heart aches for you my love 
You've been snatched away so cruel 
I look for answers from above 
So senseless and so obscure

Your precious life so fleeting 
How do we say goodbye? 
Our hearts ache for you leaving. 
We will cry till our tears run dry.

We can't help but ask why. 
Please God help us understand. 
Don't let justice pass us by. 
We swear we will take a stand.

We give each other comfort. 
And peace you will soon find. 
No choice but to let you go forth 
Fly with angels now dearest fly

As you close your eyes to sleep forever. 
We'll hold on to all our memories 
In heaven you don't have to suffer 
Rest well our dearest, kae, you're free."
