Police chief accused of murder
BAGUIO CITY - The director of the Kalinga police and some of his men could be charged criminally and administratively for allegedly conniving in the alleged extrajudicial killings of two suspected syndicate members in May this year.
Two of the surviving companions of the syndicate members said in their sworn affidavit that Supt. Pedro Ramon and his men were behind the killing of Noel Gubiangan and Elmer Gallema.
Survivors Rodel Gallema and Robert Lutao said their companions died when they were ran over by a truck that was following a police convoy while they were being brought to a jail in Tuguegarao City.
The survivors said the Kalinga police arrested them on May 23 without a warrant of arrest. One of them claimed he was tortured while in police custody.
The IBP lawyers are considering filing an administrative case against Ramos and some of his men before the National Police Commission.
Ramos, in an earlier interview with ABS-CBN Northern Luzon, denied that he or his men violated the human rights of the complainants.
Sources in Baguio said the Integrated Bar of the Philippines-Kalinga Chapter will handle the case of the two survivors.
A fact-finding team of the Commission on Human Rights earlier recommended the relief or transfer of Ramos so he would not harass the complainants and delay the investigation.
CHR chairman Valera Quisumbing ordered the investigation of Ramos and his men after receiving a complaint from one Lanie Gubiangan, who claimed that the police allegedly tortured and killed Noel Gubiangan and Elmer Gallema.
A CHR probe team led by lawyer Antonio Cruz, who conducted an initial investigation, recommended an immediate autopsy on the bodies of Gubiangan and Gallema to determine the cause of death. Journalists have not received a copy of the autopsy report.
