Woman seeks justice
A 32-year-old mother is seeking justice following the loss of one of the twins she delivered prematurely as a result of the injury she allegedly suffered at the hands of her husband’s employer.
According to Balut, Tondo police station chief Superintendent Romulo Sapitula, Karen Cerbantes’ common-law husband, Rafael Jimedo, works as a driver and stay-in employee for junk shop operator Tita Castillo.
Sapitula said Castillo and Jimedo had a heated argument after he refused to drive for her, claiming that the vehicle has a minor engine problem.
Castillo slammed the wooden door of the house before leaving. The door reportedly hit the belly of Cerbantes, who was then standing behind the door.
Cerbantes, who was seven months pregnant at the time, prematurely delivered twin baby boys, one of whom was already dead.
Police said the dead baby had a crushed skull and a deformed face, which may have been the result of a hard blow from a blunt object.
Jimedo brought his dead son when he filed his complaint before the police.
“We want justice for our baby. Anyone who caused his death should suffer before the law,” the couple said. Cerbantes said she will have a difficult time pursuing the case since she has no money.
Police are studying whether to charge Castillo with unintentional abortion.
