A CRIMINOLOGY student died due to suspected hazing by members of the Tau Gamma Phi Fraternity, the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) said Tuesday.
The victim was identified as Ahldryn Bravante, a 25-year-old student of the Philippine College of Criminology (PCCR).
The QCPD said Bravante underwent initiation rites at an abandoned building located along Calamba Street in Barangay Sto Domingo, Quezon City, on Monday afternoon.
Two of the four suspects, Justine Artates and Kyle Michael de Castro, rushed Bravante to the hospital as he had difficulty breathing and became unconscious. Bravante was declared dead on arrival at 6:40 p.m.
Police said a cursory examination of the victim’s body showed he sustained hematoma on both legs and marks of burned cigarettes on his chest and both hands.
Two other suspects surrendered to the authorities, namely, Lexer Angelo Manarpies and Mark Leo Andales.
The suspects could face charges for violating the Anti-Hazing Act of 2018.
