MANILA — The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has ordered the Muntinlupa City Police to exhaust all efforts to identify and arrest those responsible for the death of a 31-year-old construction worker who was allegedly beaten to death after pursuing a motorcycle rider who hit his young daughter.

The victim was killed in a violent assault on October 18 after he reportedly chased the motorcycle rider who allegedly struck his daughter while they were walking along the street.

Initial police reports indicated that after the rider fled the scene, the victim pursued him. However, upon reaching the other side of the street, a group of men believed to be friends of the rider allegedly chased and attacked him.

The victim sustained severe head injuries, including a fractured skull, reportedly after being struck with a hard object.

The NCRPO directed investigators to pursue all possible leads, secure relevant evidence, review available CCTV footage, identify witnesses, and establish the identities and individual participation of everyone involved in the attack, including the motorcycle rider.
