Wife of slain traffic enforcer seeks help

The wife of a Carcar City traffic enforcer who was shot down by motorcycle riding assailants while heading for home late Monday afternoon sought help from Carcar City Mayor Nicepuro Apura.

Mayor Apura said he handed a small amount of cash which he took from his pocket to help the family of traffic enforcer Maximo Bustamante. Carcar City Hall also took care of Bustamante’s coffin.

Apura said he is yet to check if Bustamante would qualify for P200,000 in insurance claims. He said he made sure that the city’s job order employees including traffic personnel were given insurance coverage.

Police recovered several empty shells from the crime scene. Apura said the victim had worked for the city government for one year and had not received any complaints against him.
