A 26-year-old MMDA traffic auxiliary officer was detained on Saturday for allegedly r@ping his 12-year-old cousin.

According to authorities, the suspect and victim shared a property in Pandacan, Manila, and exchanged text messages before the suspect allegedly committed the murd*r in July.

“Nag-request itong biktima na sunduin siya dun sa tinutuluyan niya at dinala sa bahay ng suspek. Pagdating sa bahay ng suspek, pinainom ng alak. Nung nalasing na, saka hinalay,” stated P/Maj. Manolito Flores of the PNP Pandacan Station 10.

“Yung mga magulang ay talagang galit dun sa suspek dahil nila akalain nila kung sino pa yung kadugo nila, yung hahalay,” he continued.

Last September 23, the court issued an arrest warrant for the suspect for statutory r@pe.

Authorities apprehended the suspect when he was on duty at the MMDA’s Taguig City field office.

The suspect refused to comment on the allegations leveled against him.
