DO NOT LET PEDOPHILES BREED! (NOVEMBER 8, 2011)




Rape-slay victim’s dad wants death penalty restored
Saturday, November 12, 2011

CATARMAN, Northern Samar -- The father of the minor, who was raped and killed near her school in Catarman, Northern Samar, wants a death sentence for the suspect.

In an exclusive interview, Ruben Mangada, father of the 14-year-old minor, called on the government to restore death penalty for perpetrators of heinous crimes.

He said criminals like the one who sexually abused, strangled and hacked her daughter to death on November 8 have no right to live.

“I want the death sentence to be restored what they did to my daughter was not a doing of a normal man, but of the devil. The criminal should be hanged; he must not be given a chance to reproduce. He will only breed criminals like him,” the father said in vernacular.

Last November 8, the victim was found dead under the coconut trees, some hundred meters away from the Catarman National High School (CNHS) where she was a third year student.

Results of the autopsy conducted on the victim by Police Superintendent Pierre Paul Carpio of the Police Crime Laboratory Office showed that the victim was hacked several times on the head, neck and left ankle.

It was confirmed that the victim was raped.

The Catarman Police already arrested the suspect, a 21-year-old former drugstore helper, Jayson Maravilla, through a hot pursuit operation.

Maravilla was allegedly seen by two witnesses carrying a bolo and walking from the crime scene.

Police Officer 2 Leo Magpayo said Maravilla has already admitted of committing the crime a day after his arrest.

However, the suspect’s “confession” was told to a civilian and was not made under oath reason why the police had to call for a lawyer, Attorney Bernabe Figueroa, to assist the suspect in making his extrajudicial confession.

But after a “one-on-one talk” with his lawyer, Maravilla refused to make any confession before the police.

“He changed his mind and did not want to confess, he said he was just pressured by the civilian visitor who was able to enter his cell,” Figueroa said.

On Wednesday night, Magpayo submitted the charges of “rape with homicide” for inquest proceedings before Provincial Prosecutor Rosario Diaz. 

The victim was the eldest of four children. Her father is a pedicab driver while her mother is a laundrywoman.

Her mother, “Inday”, expressed too much grief for the loss of her daughter.

She described her daughter as a good child and obedient child, and very caring of her siblings. She could not imagine, she said, how their family could cope with life now that her eldest daughter is gone. (Leyte Samar Daily Express)
