Statement of CHR spokesperson, Atty. Jacqueline Ann de Guia, on the rape-slay of a minor in Bangkal, Lapu Lapu City

  • March 11, 2019
  • 12:33 PM

The Commission on Human Rights strongly condemns the brutal rape-slay committed against a 16-year old girl in Sitio Mahayahay, Barangay Bangkal, Lapu Lapu City. No one deserves to suffer from such violence, especially that the victim is an innocent child. This act desecrates human dignity and must be punished.

To this end, CHR-Region VII will be dispatching a Quick Response Team to help in the investigation and in pursuing all perpetrators of the said crime.
