The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) on Monday dismissed the chance that the police escorts of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo had been concerned in his homicide after a few of them did not report for responsibility on the day of the assault.
During the Senate Public Order and Dangerous Drugs Committee listening to on the Degamo slay case, Senator JV Ejercito questioned the absence of 5 out of the six police safety of Degamo when he was killed on March 4.
CIDG chief Police Brigadier General Romeo Caramat Jr. stated they already appeared into that matter and located that they’d legitimate causes.
“We had an initial investigation doon sa mga bodyguards ni ex-Governor Degamo and most of them, matagal nang nagsisilbi doon kay Gov. Degamo and some of the policemen were [his] relatives. So ‘yung anggulo na may nag-traydor ay malabo ‘yun,” Caramat stated.
(We had an preliminary investigation on the bodyguards of ex-Governor Degamo and located that almost all of them had been serving him for a very long time and a few of them had been his family members. So the angle that somebody betrayed him could also be unimaginable.)
“‘Yung absence, based doon sa provincial director ng Negros Oriental, they had their valid reason at nagpaalam naman daw sila. So tinignan namin. ‘Yung possibility na talagang if they intentionally nag-absent ay inaalis namin sa anggulo na ‘yun,” he added.
(Based on the data from the Negros Oriental provincial director, they’d legitimate causes. We appeared into that. So, we’re eradicating the chance that they had been deliberately absent that day.)
Pamplona Mayor Janice Degamo, widow of the slain governor, earlier stated that she believed that her husband’s police safety escorts had nothing to do with the homicide. She refuted rumors that the law enforcement officials got an order to not go to work.
During the identical listening to, Senator Risa Hontiveros, in the meantime, requested what steps are being undertaken by regulation enforcement authorities to vet the safety being assigned to elected officers.
She raised the inquiry in relation to allegations that there was a “mole” within the incident.
“We have no valid information up to now kung meron talagang mga mole na nag-timbre doon sa mga suspek nung pumasok sila kung saan ang location ni Degamo… Under investigation pa rin po ‘yun. We cannot discount the possibility na meron ‘yun. Tinitignan namin lahat ng anggulo,” stated Caramat.
(We haven’t any legitimate data to date if there was certainly a mole who coordinated with the suspects once they entered the placement the place Degamo was… That continues to be below investigation. We can’t low cost the potential of that. We are all angles.)
Degamo and eight others had been killed final month when armed males fired photographs whereas he was distributing assist to beneficiaries at his residence in Pamplona, Negros Oriental. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
