Villasis said Damayon, who was allegedly a victim of maltreatment by his father, was arrested by members of the Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team members, who turned him over to the Ilog Police Station.

Parricide charges are being mulled by the victim’s family against the suspect, who was still locked up in jail, as of yesterday.
