THE driver of the SUV that ran over a security guard last June 6 in Mandaluyong City has been indicted by the Mandaluyong City Prosecutor’s Office for frustrated homicide instead of frustrated murder.
In a resolution dated June 28 but released only yesterday, the Mandaluyong City Prosecutor’s Office found no merit to charge Jose Antonio Sanvicente with abandonment of persons in danger and one’s own victim and frustrated murder.
Sanvicente was supposed to be arraigned yesterday but this was postponed due to tropical storm Florita. A new schedule will be announced later.
Floralde was directing traffic on Julia Vargas Ave. and St. Francis St. when a white Toyota RAV4 hit him. Instead of stopping, the vehicle ran over him and sped away. — Christian Oineza
