Ranking officials of the Aklan Philippine National Police (PNP) and investigators of the National Bureau of Investigation in Region VI were summoned by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Aklan last Monday, July 19. They briefed the members of the provincial legislative body on the status of the investigation on the slaying of the late Hon. Fernando Baldomero, SB member of Lezo who was gunned down in the morning of July 5, 2010 in front of his family residence in barangay Estancia, Kalibo, Aklan.
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 briefed the members of the Aklan SP on the development of the Baldomero death.
According to Bragais, the gunman was already identified by witnesses, one of whom is the 12-year old son of the victim. He witnessed the slaying of his father. Baldomero’s son positively identified the suspect through the pictures shown to him by police and NBI investigators.
Bragais identified the suspect as a certain Dindo Lovon Ancero, 35 years old of barangay Malingin, Bogo, Cebu. He said that the task force handling the case is preparing the charges against Ancero, who is wanted for several 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 Aklanon 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 Aklan SP members to enact an ordinance disallowing the wearing of helmets by motorcycle riders when they reach or enter the Poblacion to easily identify the motorcycle passenger or driver. It is extremely hard to identify motorcycle riders wearing helmets.
As to the mastermind of Baldomero’s case, the NBI said they are concentrating their efforts in filing the case against the gunman. In most cases like this, the gun man and mastermind know each other.
The invitation to the police and NBI officials on the Baldomero case is a result of the resolution of SP member Phoebe Clarice L. Cabagnot directing SP Committee on Peace and Order to help in the expedient solution of the Baldomero murder case. /MP
