CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — Authorities apprehended one of the two individuals believed to be connected to the shooting of a couple aboard a bus in Nueva Ecija last month, according to a belated police report released on Tuesday (Dec. 12).
Nueva Ecija Provincial Director Col. Richard Caballero identified the arrested person as Allan Delos Santos y Angeles who has strings of Warrant of Arrest for Statutory Rape and Sexual Assault.
An in-depth probe also revealed that Delos Santos is a known gun-for-hire operating in Nueva Ecija and Isabela.
Upon his arrest in Dilasag, Aurora on November 20, Delos Santos gave crucial information about his participation in the killing of victims Gloria Atilano and Arman Bautista, and voluntarily executed an extra-judicial confession with the assistance of his counsel.
Caballero said a criminal complaint for two counts of murder against delos Santos and three others — Atilano’s son and his live-in partner, and an unnamed gunman — was filed before the Prosecutor’s Office in Nueva Ecija.
PRO3 Regional Director Brig. Gen. Jose S. Hidalgo Jr., said that continuous police operation is being carried out to arrest the other individuals and bring them to the bars of justice. (UnliNews Online)
