A cable contractor has admitted to attacking a customer in Muntinlupa last week and has surrendered to the Muntinlupa City police.
Rommel Mendoza, a cable repairman for SkyCable service provider Erat Tech, surrendered to authorities at Festival Supermall late Monday night, ABS-CBN News reports.
Police Senior Superintendent Roque Vega, Muntinlupa City Police chief said Mendoza has admitted to stabbing the 35-year-old female victim after she fought back. She was stabbed with a glass shard seven times, and she said Mendoza also tried to rape her.
Mendoza was able to take a mobile phone, a laptop, and cash from the victim.
SkyCable made clear that Mendoza is not its employee and that it will “strengthen internal processes to ensure the utmost safety of our subscribers.”
“We do not condone such acts and we firmly believe that the individual who committed this heinous act should face all legal consequences after undergoing the necessary judicial process,” SkyCable said.
