Her body was stuffed inside a traveling suitcase and hidden under her apartment's sink. Her very own board mates have been identified as the suspects. According to a news report by ABS-CBN, Arro's two board mates hit her at the back of her head. Dr. Jaime Rodrigo Leal of the Baguio City Police's crime lab stated that the traumatic injury to Arro's head was the cause of her death.
"Cause of death is blunt, traumatic head injuries. Yung pipe consistent naman sa injuries ng biktima", said Dr. Leal.
Based on the police's initial investigation, the incident was caused by arguments between Arro and her board mates with regards to the payment of their apartment's rent. The Baguio police believe that Arro was killed on Monday (January 5).
