Rape, robbery suspects also linked to lodging house theft

The two eatery attendants who were robbed and raped in Consolacion town last Tuesday dawn positively identified their tormentors as the same men who robbed a Mandaue City lodging house.

The two suspects identified as 30-year-old Rex Braga and 25-year-old Mark RJ Tampus were identified by the two women as having allegedly robbed the eatery’s P3,000 proceeds and then brought them at gunpoint to a cemetery in Barangay Tayud, Consolacion town where they were raped.

The suspects were traced by police through a mobile phone left by one suspect. Braga was shot in the chest by police when he fired at them and is now confined in a hospital.

The suspects were also responsible for the Road Side Lodging House robbery at Cansaga, Consolacion, taking P3,000 from cashier Jovelyn Gerondio.
