The Manila Police District (MPD) has confirmed that hazing killed Horacio Tomas Castillo III, the 22-year-old University of Santo Tomas (UST) freshman law student.
According to MPD Spokesperson Supt. Erwin Margarejo, the victim’s arms were severely smacked with a hard object and bore burns.
Margarejo confirmed suspicions that hazing killed Horacio.
“At the Emergency room of the Chinese General Hospital, the victim was declared dead on arrival at about 9:21 a.m., September 17, 2017,” MPD’s separate media release said.
“The victim suffered hematoma on both upper arms, while bruises and drips of candle were seen on the different parts of the body,” it added.
Meanwhile, the victim’s mother, Carmina, who waited at the Archangel Funeral Homes where his son underwent an autopsy by the medico-legal of the MPD, said his son died due to cardiac arrest after suffering from severe injuries.
“Namatay sya, inatake siya sa puso dahil sa injuries nya,” Carmina told INQUIRER.net in a telephone interview.
In an earlier interview, Carmina said her son attended the Aegis Juris fraternity’s welcome ceremony at the UST on Saturday.
