Justice for Dr. Mary Joy!

Dr. Mary Joy M. Duroy was my classmate in Kindergarten Batch 1986. She spent the rest of her Grade School days in Canossa Academy, Lipa City Batch 1986-1992 and High School at De La Salle Lipa Batch 1992-1996. She pursued Dentistry at the Centro Escolar University with 1996-1998 Associate in Arts, 1998-2002 Doctor of Dental Medicine degree.

The sudden demise of our dear friend and classmate last January 24, 2008 at around past 1pm brought intense grief to her family, friends and loved ones.She was brutally killed inside her dental clinic in Lipa City, Batangas by an unknown assailant. :(

Dentist stabbed dead inside Batangas clinic

A dentist was found dead with more than 20 stab wounds inside her clinic in Lipa City, Batangas, ABS-CBN News reported Sunday.

The belated report identified the victim as Mary Joy Duroy, 28.

Police said the victim sustained 22 stab wounds. Her skull was also bashed in.

Witnesses told police investigators they heard screams for help prior to the discovery of victim’s body inside the dental clinic on Thursday.

Authorities said aside from Duroy’s cellular phone, nothing was taken from the clinic.

Duroy was scheduled to marry her fiancé Marlon Cena on December 29 this year. Cena rushed for a flight home upon hearing of his girlfriend’s death.

Police are now looking for a food vendor who reportedly saw the unidentified assailant enter the clinic prior to the discovery of the body.

  25. dapat makulong habang buhay ang mga pumatay sa kanya!!!

    kawawa naman ang boyfriend niya

    di bale may ibang babae ang nakalaan para sa kanya

  26. parang ang bagal ata ng usad ng kaso. hanggang ngayon parang walang development. kailangan ata lagi i-sensationalize eh para magkaroon ng resulta. might as well pray for divine inetervention. pero i’m sure, hindi patutulugin ng konsensya nya ang gumawa nito kay dr. joy. he’s a savage beast. I just na makonsensya yung gumawa nito sa kanya tapos lumantad yung mga witnesses. let’s pray na masolve na yung kaso.

  27. what a big lost. . we used to have nice conversations before when we are still in manila. kulitan, tawanan and asaran, habang nkatambay. talking how to live our lives in a positive way. she was a very nice person inside and out. everybody loves here beautiful smile. . i am sure, she will be missed by her loving friends and family. ate joy, wherever u are now, thanks for those wonderful advises and may u have eternal rest in heaven. . thank you and we will never forget u!

  28. Hi! Just dropping by! Nakita ko kasi yung beauty mong mahiwaga sa side bar ko! hehehe! Thank you for stopping by !

  29. I am a stranger to Mary Joy and her family, but it saddens me that something tragic as this [in broad daylight!] now happens in the town I still call “home”. I keep intact beautiful childhood memories of my 14yrs in Lipa [left for L.A. in '76 after completing 2nd yr h.s. in Canossa]. To the Duroy family, may you all find the strength to face a bright, new day as the healing begins and may the beauty of the sunrise bring you memories of Mary Joy. Let the beautiful memories live on… If I may say so, a dear friend of mine, also my accountant, confidant, now guardian angel, was brutally murdered [and he was 6'2, about 300lbs!] in ‘06 by a fugitive from Washington DC. The haunt for the criminal through the discovery of my friend’s body was on national tv for over a week. I still grieve and forever will… For those who caused the senseless demise of our loved ones, may their conscience, or lack thereof, be their guide to insanity as they take every breathing moment in darkness…

    There is a recent update po regarding our friend, Mary Joy’s case. Her assailant has been arrested last week. I have been trying to get the complete information as of date. But my resources has told me it is a guy from the Philippine Air Force, also from Batangas, the very same guy they have been eyeing as the perpetrator since day 1.

    I will be forwarding your message to the family po….God bless us all!

  30. its been 5 yrs since the last time i talked to jhoy. i knw its too late.. bcoz many things are supposed to have said and done. But ur memories will always be treasured. jhoy i know sumday we will meet again… & wen that happen, the first thing that i will do is to hug you tight… bcoz dat is the only way that i cud tel you how much you (and the rest of the guys) mean to me… iloveyou bakla… mamimiss kita…

  31. Care to update us about Dr. Mary Joy’s case?

  32. PAF man tagged in Lipa woman dentist’s killing
    By janice on Feb 21, 2008 in News

    LIPA CITY – Police have filed murder charges against a Philippine Air Force (PAF) man, who was tagged in the killing of a 29-year-old woman dentist in her clinic here last Jan. 24.

    Superintendent Rodney Ramirez, city police chief, identified the suspect as Airman Second Class Kenan Euren Resurreccion, 25, assigned with the PAF’s 750th Combat Group based at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.

    Ramirez said Resurreccion was charged before the city prosecutor’s office last Feb. 12 after at least three eyewitnesses identified him as the bloodied man seen rushing out of the dental clinic of victim Mary Joy Duroy at the corner of C.M. Recto Avenue and Simeon Luz street in Barangay 6 here.

    “We have a strong case against the suspect when the witnesses positively identified (him) in a photo gallery that we presented to them” Ramirez told The STAR.

    Ramirez, together with Superintendent Archie Macala, Batangas chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, said they were able to establish leads and evidence strongly linking Resurreccion, a former boyfriend of Duroy, to her killing.

    Duroy was scheduled to get married with her boyfriend working abroad last December, but the wedding was postponed due to time constraints. By ARNELL OZAETA With Ed Amoroso
