Father of Deceased Maritime Student Files Hazing Case Against 14 Fraternity Members
In a tragic turn of events, the father of a maritime student who died in a hazing incident has taken legal action against 14 members of the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity. Elegio Alcedo, father of the late Mark Kenneth Alcedo, has formally filed charges, alleging that the fraternity failed to assist in surrendering those involved.
Details of the Case and Police Custody
According to Elegio Alcedo, he is not satisfied with the initial surrender of four suspects at the General Trias Police station. Currently, six suspects are in police custody, with a total of 12 individuals facing charges for violating the Anti-Hazing Law. The father insists that this was not merely a hazing incident but a brutal assault involving at least 20 fraternity members who allegedly beat his son.
Ongoing Police Appeals and Legal Proceedings
Police authorities continue to urge fraternity leaders to cooperate by surrendering all members implicated in the hazing. This case highlights the severe consequences of hazing practices and underscores the importance of enforcing anti-hazing legislation to prevent such tragedies in the future.
