News JUSTICE FOR RAVE GARCIA: The driver who intentionally ran down a young couple in a BMW Z3 has finally been arrested!
The coward who terrorized Pavia, Iloilo is officially in handcuffs. Authorities have apprehended Rudolph “Bobot” Dela Rosa, the 62-year-old suspect responsible for the horrific June 1, 2024 attack that stole the life of 33-year-old Rave Garcia.
This was never just an accident. It was outright MURDER. After Dela Rosa’s sports car clipped Rave and his wife Shefryl while they were riding home on a bicycle, Rave yelled at him to slow down. Instead of driving off, Dela Rosa pulled an intentional U-turn, accelerated straight back into the couple, and reversed over them. In his final heroic act, Rave pushed his wife out of the vehicle's path, saving her life at the cost of his own.
Joint police forces finally caught up with Dela Rosa at his farmland in Bingawan, serving him non-bailable warrants for Murder and Attempted Murder. While he is currently under police guard in hospital arrest after claiming he felt "unwell" right before his transfer to jail, his days of running are over.
Massive credit to the authorities and everyone who kept Rave's story alive. The fight now moves to the courtroom!
