He was wanted for the capital offense of murder and was the object of an arrest warrant issued by Regional Trial Court Judge Gregorio Sampaga of Malolos City, Bulacan, on Feb. 6, 2019.
“This arrest is a clear result of the whole-of-government approach directed by the President. We are relentless in ensuring that fugitives who attempt to evade justice will be tracked down and arrested wherever they hide,” said acting PNP chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr.
