Man sustains burns

A 27-YEAR-OLD man was rushed to the hospital yesterday for burns in his chest and back, and cuts on his arms after visiting a mountain barangay of Cebu City.

Daniel Uy said several men and a woman attacked him Monday night in barangay Buot and poured gasoline on him.

The Pardo police station is looking closer  into his account after some vital details didn’t match up.

Uy said  his assailants tied him to a tree and tried to burn him alive in sitio Lunas after he went to the village to arrange a feeding program with schools for his organization. But when policemen went to the site, there was no tree or signs of burning and Buot barangay chairperson Rosalita Callino wasn’t aware of a feeding program or a complaint about a man being burned alive.

“We are conducting a deeper inquiry,” said Chief Insp. Michael Angelo Beltran, Pardo police chief,  after the man’s sister told  police that Uy was going through some personal problems.  Police have not ruled out the possibility that the burns and cuts were self-inflicted. Uy allegedly went to the upland village to visit an ex-girlfriend who broke up with him.
