Relatives of the motorcycle riders who became victims of an SUV driver who used his weapon during a traffic argument were seeking justice for what happened to their two family members.
It can be recalled that riders Patrick, 22, and Peter, 52, were among the victims, who were seen having an argument with the suspect, Kenneth, due to a disagreement on traffic rules last weekend in Antipolo City.
Peter didn’t survive the wound he sustained, while his son, Patrick, was already recovering from the incident.
The relatives of the victims said that they’re not open to settling with Kenneth as they wanted the suspect to be held accountable for his actions.
The suspect would face multiple charges that may give him decades of serving behind bars.
Kenneth insisted that he only defended himself as he was already being ganged up on.
“Hindi ko naman po talaga sinasadya po Ma’am, nadala lang po talaga ako ng emosyon,” said Kenneth.
Meanwhile, several netizens said that the incident was a reminder of how a traffic argument could ruin someone’s life if not handled properly.
“Parehong mainit ang ulo walang nagbigayan eh. Yung 5-10 minutes na init ng ulo can change a lifetime, pwedeng makasira ng buhay talaga kaya lesson learned din lalo na sa mga maangas sa daan,” a netizen said.
“Inuna niya pagkainit sa ulo hindi na inisip dala niya pamilya niya.. Ayun tuloy misis ang natamaan nang ligaw na bala,” netizen Aldrin commented.
