Supt. Ophelio Dakila Concina, chief of police in Calumpit Bulacan, told media that two suspects has been recently identified and named as Melvin Ulam and Ramil Diarca.
Then there's a third one identified as Elmer Joson, a jeepney driver, who on Monday went to Espiritu's wake together with his wife.
Joson admitted to reporters that Espiritu was his passenger the night before the tragic incident happened on Thursday. Suspicion of the driver's involvement in the crime grew after members of the victim's family noticed scratches and wounds on Joson's body.
When the couple came back at 3pm, Joson was arrested and was made to take his shirt off. Upon interrogation, he claimed to have sustained the claw marks and cuts during a quarrel with his wife earlier that day.
Supt. Concina noted in an interview that the suspect's scratches on the neck were still fresh while the wounds on his body were already partially healed.
Police impounded Joson's jeepney pending investigation on the rape-slay of Anria Galang Espiritu, who left home for a night out but never came back.
Her lifeless body was found floating in a rice field in Barangay Sapang Bayan on August 14. She sustained multiple stab wounds in the neck area, according to probers.
Authorities have launched an intensive manhunt operation for a fourth suspect.
The death of Anria Galang Espiritu sparked outrage on social media. Following her untimely passing, netizens expressed condolences to the family and seeking justice on Facebook.
