POLICE authorities filed charges against eight men accused of trying to kill a man along Mamay road, Lanang, Davao City earlier this month.
Charged with frustrated murder for mauling Raymund de Ocampo were alias Dongdong Fuentes, alias Glen Luna, alias Boyet Idao, alias Kiks Dilda, and four other unidentified men, based on the accounts of witnesses Yvet Timbal Grenien, 21, and Jowelyn Tajale Bastasa, 18.
Grenien and Bastasa said they had just left work around 2 p.m. of August 6 in Market Basket and parked their vehicle along the Mamay Road to eat the food they bought when eight men passed by, one of whom sneered at them.
The two said they ignored the men because they didn't want to get into trouble. The men, it turned out, were looking for trouble and ganged up on the victim.
