MANILA - Horacio Castillo III, a law student at the University of Santo Tomas, experience "extreme pain and suffering" in a suspected fraternity hazing caused his dead body to bloat and it was peppered with bruises and burns, his father said on Monday.

The 22-year-old student told his parents that he had been accepted to the "Juris Aegis fraternity" after completing tasks like cleaning hallways and running errands for members. On Saturday, he attended the organization's welcoming rites at the UST campus, his father Horacio Castillo Jr. told ABS-CBN News.

The freshman law student never made it home.

A resident found Castillo's body dumped in a street in Balut, Tondo on the wee hours of Sunday. He was rushed to the Chinese General Hospital, but was already lifeless when he reached the hospital.

His family found him there after receiving a tip from an anonymous text message, his father said.

"Mayroon siyang mga hematoma. His body is bloated. Nakita ko, there was extensive damage in the upper arm and some burn marks, cigarette burn marks... and pinatakan ng candle wax," the elder Castillo ABS-CBN's "Umagang Kay Ganda."

"He went through extreme pain and suffering. I don't know why they did this when it is a legal fraternity in UST and they are lawyers," he added in a DZMM interview.

In tears, the grieving father urged his son's killers to surrender to authorities. "Sana naman ma-konsensya sila. He was only 22 years old, he was robbed of his future. Sana lumabas na sila. Tell everything, tell the truth," he said.

ABS-CBN News received no immediate comment about the incident from UST.

Castillo's remains has been brought to the Archangel Funeral Homes and would undergo autopsy.
