POLICE, NBI OFFICIALS UPDATE SP ON BALDOMERO CASE

KALIBO, Aklan. Ranking officials of the Philippine National Police in Aklan and investigators of the National Bureau of Investigation in Region VI had been summoned by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Aklan last Monday (July 19, 2010) and briefed the members of the provincial legislative body on the status of the investigation on the slaying of the Honorable Fernando Baldomero in the morning of July 5, 2010 in front of their family residence in barangay Estancia, Kalibo, Aklan.
Alternately briefing the provincial legislators were Police Senior Supt. Epifanio A. Bragais, Jr., Aklan Police Provincial Director, Police Supt. Georgy C. Manuel, Provincial Chief of the PNP Crime Laboratory and NBI Special Investigator Rojun V. Hosillos.
Bragais informed the body that the gunman was already identified by witnesses which included the 12-year old son of the victim who has actually witnessed when his father was gunned down by the murderers. He said that Baldomero’s son positively identified the suspect through the pictures showed to him by police and NBI investigators.
Bragais identified the suspect as a certain Dindo Lovon Ancero, 35, of barangay Malingin, Bogo, Cebu City. He said that the task force handling the case is readying the charges against Ancero, who is wanted for a string of criminal cases like murder, bank robbery, and drug trafficking.
Bragais also assured the committee on peace and order that they are exerting extra efforts to prove to Aklanons that they are not resting just to capture the suspects in the killing of Baldomero as soon as possible.
NBI Special Investigator Rojun V. Hosillos suggested to the August body to enact an ordinance disallowing the wearing of helmets by motorcycle riders when they reach or enter the town because this kind of incident it is extremely hard to identify those wearing helmets.
Regarding to the mastermind of Baldomero’s case, The NBI further said that they are concentrating their efforts filing the case to the gunman, because in most cases like this, the gun man and mastermind knows each other.
The committee hearing which summoned police and NBI officials on the Baldomero case was an offshoot of the resolution of SP Member Phoebe Clarice L. Cabagnot directing the SP Committee on Peace and Order to help in the expedient solution of the case.
