A witness, whose name is withheld for security purposes, also informed Calbayog Journal, that the daughter of the victim was just at a nearby faucet within the vicinity collecting water but who, despite having a clear view on where her father was seated, did not act to help but was instead seen running away to an opposite direction from her father who was then being chased by the armed suspect.
SPO4 Fermilan informed that a case for Murder will be filed against Catamora as soon as the family of victim will execute an affidavit of complaint after the burial of Decayman whose wake is being held at the covered court in the seaside area of the barangay (village).(CJ)
