MANILA, Philippines – Ninakawan at pinatay ng pasaherong nag-book ng biyahe mula Manila patungong Cavite ang isang motorcycle taxi rider.
Dagdag pa rito, matapos na patayin ay kinikilan pa ng suspek ang asawa at kapatid ng nasawing biktima.
Kinilala ang biktima na si Ren Ren De Laviga, 35-anyos.
Ayon sa pulisya, nagbook ang suspek ng biyahe mula Tondo, Manila patungong Carmona, Cavite noong Hulyo 9.
Una itong naiulat bilang hit-and-run incident.
“No one confirmed hearing any gunshots, nor were there any reports of them. The area, Ma’am, is somewhat far from residential houses… but while the crime scene was being processed, investigators found an empty shell casing and an unexploded bullet,” sinabi ni Carmona Component City Police Station chief P/Lt. Col. Rene Joy Mosquiza.
Ayon sa kapatid ng biktima, natagpuan itong patay na may tama ng bala ng baril sa ulo.
“He was lying face up in the middle of the road. Lifeless. He really had a bullet hole in his temple,” salaysay ng kapatid ng biktima.
Ang ninakaw na motorsiklo naman ay nakita sa
Trece Martires sa Cavite, kung saan nangyari rin ang shooting incident.
“An abandoned motorcycle was recovered in Trece [Martires], which the family has confirmed belongs to the victim in the Carmona incident. The suspect apparently shot the victim in Trece, took their motorcycle, and seemingly swapped the motorcycle obtained from Carmona with the one left behind in Trece,” sinabi ni Mosquiza.
Ikinwento ng asawa ng biktima na nakausap pa niya ang asawa bago magtungo sa Carmona.
Pagsapit ng hatinggabi ay nakakatanggap pa rin ito ng mensahe mula sa number ng biktima at hindi alam na ang suspek na pala ang nanghihingi ng pera sa kanya.
“He said he was at the barangay hall, but the picture he sent me showed his motorcycle with its compartment open and his things scattered around, which really made me suspicious. And the picture he sent was just of a closed store’s rolling shutter, so I thought to myself, ‘That’s not what a barangay hall looks like’,” ayon sa asawa ng biktima.
Inakala lamang nito na na-hack ang account ng kanyang asawa.
“(The suspect) said he had my husband, saying, ‘Give me P5,000 if you still want your husband to come home alive.’ I told him, ‘If you are indeed holding my husband, show him to me—a photo, a video, or even just a voice clip for five seconds, just to prove he is still alive and that you have him,’ but he wouldn’t give anything,” aniya.
Humingi rin ang suspek ng pera mula sa iba pang kapatid ng biktima na nasa ibang bansa.
Agad na inilunsad ang operasyon ng Carmona Police, Trece Martires Police, at Manila Police District Station 1, na nagresulta sa pagkakaaresto ng suspek sa Tondo, Manila.
Narekober dito ang motorsiklo ng biktima, at isang kalibre .45 na pistola mula sa suspek.
Naka-detain na sa Trece Martires Police Custodial Facility ang suspek at mahaharap sa reklamong Anti-Carnapping Act of 2016 at frustrated homicide. RNT/JGC
