THE Carcar city government extended cash aid to the family of two sisters, who were hacked in their sleep by an uncle, who killed himself right after the deed in barangay Napo.
Carcar City Mayor Nicepuro Apura said his office took care of funeral expenses of Rosalyn Mangyao, 16, and Charmain, 11, and will give P10,000 assistance to the Mangyao family. The burial will be held on Friday.
City social workers did stress debriefing for two boys, nephews of the victims, who witnessed the violence.
The mayor confirmed that barangay Napo had a drug use problem. The motive of the killing was first linked to a nervous breakdown but the mayor said he, too, heard reports that the uncle Domingo Mangayo had a drug problem.
The Cebu Provincial Council for the Welfare of Children (PCWC) is also willing to help the two young witnesses.
Heddah Largo said the PCWC is just waiting for social workers from Carcar to coordinate with the province. Largo said the province can provide medical and psychological examination services.
The two sisters were killed at home last Monday . Their necks were hacked and slashed by their uncle, who killed himself the same way.
The brutal killing was witnessed by the victims’ nephews who were hiding under a big plastic basin.
Mayor Apura said the boys need to be processed because of the trauma they experienced.
Apura said he ordered the policemen to continue conducting anti-drug operations.
He said other barangays in the city have the same problem and that the drug pushers actually from outside Carcar City.
