The suspect in the killing of a 24-year-old computer science student in Dasmarias, Cavite, has been identified, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Rodolfo Azurin Jr. said Friday.

Azurin identified the suspect as Angelito Erlano, GMA Integrated News' Jun Veneracion said on Twitter.

A report by Luisito Santos on Super Radyo dzBB said policemen went to the house of the suspect and found some of the victim's belongings.

In a statement, the PNP said the police located the house of the suspect in Barangay San Nicholas 2 after backtracking CCTV footage.

Recovered were a black shirt with a white stripe and a blue t-shirt marked with a trademark eagle, which were used by Erlano during the crime, the PNP said.

A black backpack owned by the victim was also found in the house, it added.

According to the PNP, Erlano had once been arrested for robbery.

The government is offering a P1.1-million reward for anyone who can give information about the location of the suspect.

A massive manhunt for the suspect in the robbery with homicide case has been launched, the PNP said. Police are still in the area for continuing hot pursuit operations.

The SpecialInvestigation Task Group Daguinsin convened on Friday morning to discuss developments in the case build-up.

"We condemn this heinous crime and we will not stop until the perpetrator will be put behind bars. We call on the public to cooperate with the authorities and report any information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect," Azurin said.

On Tuesday, victim Queen Leanne Daguinsin was found dead with stab wounds inside her dorm room in Barangay Santa Fe. Based on the police investigation, Daguinsin suffered 14 stab wounds in different parts of her body.

Daguinsin's body was found after her classmates went to her dorm room to check on her because she had not been attending classes for days.

CCTV footage showed a man wearing a blue shirt, black cap, and face mask leaving the victim's dorm room. He was holding unidentified objects in both hands. Joviland Rita/KBK/VBL, GMA Integrated News
