A tragic incident unfolded at Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City on November 28, 2024, leading to the death of a police officer. The victim, a master sergeant, was fatally shot following a confrontation with a police lieutenant colonel.
Initial investigations suggest the incident stemmed from a dispute related to a personal relationship. The colonel, who allegedly caught the victim in an intimate encounter with his wife, is believed to have acted in a fit of rage.
Subsequent to the shooting, the colonel took drastic measures to conceal the crime. He dismembered the victim’s body using a hacksaw, transported the remains to his ancestral home in Baguio City, and buried them.
The victim’s disappearance sparked concern, particularly after their child sought help at Camp Bagong Diwa. Authorities launched an investigation, which led to the discovery of the body on December 5, 2024.
“Based sa binigay na statement, naaktuhan ang isang suspect sa very intimate na sitwasyon… Nabaril niya itong ating victim,” Police Major Hazel Asilo said.
The colonel was arrested and confessed to the crime, providing detailed accounts of the incident. His wife was also taken into custody as a potential accomplice, as she was present during the crime.
The authorities are currently pursuing charges of murder and conspiracy against the couple. They are also actively searching for the murder weapon, a hacksaw, and have impounded the vehicle used to transport the body. A forensic examination is underway to determine the exact cause of death.
