Defeated Barangay Kagawad Goes on Rampage After 2023 BSKE Loss in Cavite City
CAVITE CITY – A defeated barangay kagawad turned violent and went on a rampage in Cavite City, leaving another kagawad injured.
A few days after the 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE), a defeated barangay kagawad turned violent in Cavite City, leaving another kagawad injured. The incident, captured on CCTV, has raised concerns about the aftermath of electoral defeats.
According to reports, the defeated kagawad, who remains unidentified, took his frustrations to the extreme by going on a rampage armed with a bladed weapon. In a narrow alley, he cornered a barangay kagawad, and stabbed him, causing injuries.
After the incident, the suspect ran away from the scene, traveling through the city’s narrow alleyways as if looking for someone.
The police authorities quickly took action, and the police now have the suspect in custody. It was reported that the assailant admitted his wrongdoing and expressed remorse for his actions. He also apologized for his mistake.
