Motorcycle Rider Shot Dead Batangas Due to Noisy Motorcycle Muffler
TANAUAN CITY, BATANGAS – A man in Batangas has passed away after suffering gunshot wounds due to a noisy motorcycle muffler.
We can all agree that loud noises are annoying. Already stressful are the crowded city streets’ unruly drivers, jaywalkers, potholes, and other issues. Just trying to sort through the confusion for a few hours is exhausting.
Over the past few years, the police authorities have been implementing stricter rules and regulations regarding the usage of open mufflers. Open pipes usually produce loud noises, which cause disturbance in public places.
Various cities and municipalities in the Philippines have been imposing ordinances prohibiting the usage of open mufflers. These measures aim to penalize motorists who use open or modified mufflers that exceed the mandated noise limit of 99 dB.
A motorcycle rider identified as Francis Daclis has died after suffering a gunshot. He was allegedly shot by the suspect due to the loud muffler on his motorcycle. The muffler’s noise reportedly annoyed the suspect.
According to the police investigation, the suspect apprehended the motorcycle rider to confront him. However, the intense confrontation leads to a fist fight prompting the suspect to shoot the victim. The victim’s brother was able to run away and escape.
The suspect identified as Samuel Platon is a former councilor of Tanauan City, according to the police authorities. The cops will continue to hunt Platon.
