The driver took a short cut.
“Jeepney driver Ronaldo Verdadero — who ran over and killed Rodolfo de Vera and then dumped his body in a cemetery — was arrested on Friday, Dec 27,” reports the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Both Verdadero and De Vera are Caloocan City residents.
According to the report, Verdadero was driving his jeepney at 11:30am on Thursday, Dec 26, on A. Mabini Street near Calle Uno when he ran over De Vera, who was crossing the road. De Vera fell, hitting his head on the pavement.
He died on the spot.
Verdadero then loaded De Vera’s lifeless body into his jeep. However, instead of heading to the hospital, Verdadero drove straight to the Tugatog Cemetery in Malabon City. He dumped the body there. Now, he’s being charged with reckless imprudence resulting in homicide.
