A man arrested for alleged rape died after a seizure and vomiting blood at a Candoni Police Station cell in Candoni town, Negros Occidental, Tuesday afternoon, July 4.
Rosemar Herrera, 51, a tricycle driver from Brgy. West, Candoni, tagged as a Person Under PNP Custody (PUPC), was rushed to the Candoni Rural Health Unit where doctors were unable to revive him, the police said.
PMaj. Ruel Culanag, Candoni police chief, told DIGICAST NEGROS that Herrera has tuberculosis and was served a warrant of arrest on Sunday for alleged rape.
The police received the warrant for his arrest last month and asked Herrera’s family for help for his surrender, Culanag said.*
