He claimed he used a dummy account with the name CJ Diaz to hide his identity. </p><p>&quot;Itong si suspek natin meron siyang 4 hanggang 5 Facebook accounts pero &#x27;yung primary na ginagamit niya ay CJ Diaz. Ginagamit niyang profile picture doon ay magandang lalaki,&quot; Police Col. Lemuel Obon, Lapu-lapu City&#x27;s chief of police, told DZMM.</p><p>(Our suspect has 4 to 5 Facebook accounts, but he primarily uses an account named CJ Diaz. He used a handsome man&#x27;s photo for the fake account.)</p><p>&quot;In-invite siya ni Christine [sa Facebook]. Nakita siguro ni Christine na pogi ito, tapos kinonfirm naman niya,&quot; Obon said.</p><p>(Christine invited him on Facebook. Maybe Christine saw that it was a good looking guy, the suspect confirmed the invitation.)</p><p>Silawan and Llenes hit it off on FB before agreeing to meet at the Sacred Heart Parish in Barangay Pajac. </p><p>Christine, however, was baffled after finding out that &quot;CJ Diaz&quot; was a man in his 40s. The police chief said the girl walked out after seeing Llenes in person.</p><p>&quot;Hinabol niya tapos nagpapakilala siya, &#x27;Hoy! Ako si CJ Diaz.&#x27; Tapos sabi ni Christine, &#x27;Matanda ka na pala, kuya.&#x27;&quot;</p><p>(He ran after her and said, &quot;Hey! I&#x27;m CJ Diaz.&quot; Christine told him, &quot;You&#x27;re an old man.&quot;)</p><p>The police official said the two kept talking until they reached the subdivision where Christine&#x27;s body would later be found. According to the suspect&#x27;s confession, Obon said the two started fighting after Silawan refused the suspect&#x27;s offer to have sex. </p><p>He said the suspect stabbed the girl with a pair of scissors and was about to rape her when he lost interest after realizing she was not moving. The suspect then allegedly used the scissors to cut off the girl&#x27;s face. </p><p>&quot;Walang ginamit na asido, talagang gunting lang ginamit niya,&quot; Obon said.</p><p>(He did not use acid, he just used a pair of scissors.)</p><p>According to the suspect, he threw Christine&#x27;s face and her backpack in a nearby dumpsite. </p><p>Llenes, who confessed to using illegal drugs, said he had wanted to surrender to authorities sooner, but feared he would be killed by police. He has 4 children with his live-in partner.</p><p>Authorities are waiting for the results of DNA tests before declaring the case closed.</p><div> </div>
