PO2 Ananias Birad Jr., officer-on-case, said the body was that of Henry Sapit, 36, operations supervisor of the R. Jose Trucking Co. and a resident of Davila street, Navotas.

Sapit was positively identified by his brother Gener at around 3:30 p.m. in Barangay San Agustin, Malabon City, where the body was retrieved from the water.

The victim’s body was seen by a group of bystanders in a nipa hut along the Malabon River.
