A barangay councilor in Oas, Albay, who had just responded to an accident, died, which turned out to be a case of a policeman allegedly taking the Indian national to whom he owed money.
In a report by Jessie Cruzat on GMA Regional TV News on Monday, the shooting victims were identified as Marlon Rebusquillo, councilor of Barangay Mapurong, Albay, and Indian national Parmindes Singh, from Polangui town.
The suspect, Corporal Bryan Aguilar, assigned to the Polangui police station, and his brother Raymond were arrested.
During the police investigation, it appeared that Singh was taken to Polangui and taken by the two suspects in a car until they reached Oas.
But the car had an accident in Oas, so Rebusquillo responded to the scene.
It was there that police officer Aguilar allegedly shot the two victims.
Oas authorities arrested Aquilar, while police in Polangui arrested his brother.
While detained at the police station, Aguilar allegedly tried to commit suicide by slashing his wrist but was immediately caught and taken to the hospital.
Authorities believe Aguilar’s gambling addiction and an enormous debt to Singh were the reason why the police committed such a crime.
The police allegedly owed Singh up to P400,000 and other personal creditors.
The case is being prepared to be filed against the two suspects.
Father admits raping, killing 8-year-old daughter Taytay, Rizal
The father of an eight-year-old girl found in a canal in Taytay, Rizal, admitted that he raped and killed her daughter. The suspect just got out after getting jailed due to an illegal drug case.
In a report by Mariz Umali on GMA News “24 Oras” on Friday, the suspect was identified as Romeo Garcia, Rona’s father.
“Umamin na po ‘yung tatay niya sa nagawa niyang pagkakamali roon sa kaniyang anak. May balon po kasi roon medyo malapit sa kanila. Pinaligo niya po ‘yung anak niya roon ng gabi then noong pinabihis niya, sinundan niya sa may CR, pinagsamantalahan niya po ‘yung bata,” said Police Lieutenant Gremalyn Bernardo, chief of Women and Children Protection Desk of Taytay Police.
“Inamin niya po ‘yun kasi nakita rin po namin na may kaunting struggle roon sa katawan ng tatay niya. Hanggang sa nataranta siya, nasakal niya ‘yung bata,” Bernardo added.
According to Taytay Police, Garcia was only released on December 1 due to an illegal drug case.
Before this, the volunteer guards in the area also noticed something strange about Rona’s father.
