The death of the barrio doctor in a municipality in Lanao del Norte continues to spark headlines. In a recent news report in Inquirer, it is stated that the father of Dr. Perlas has doubts on the involvement of the alleged hitman on his son’s death.
According to the news report, Dennis Perlas, a councilor of Batan town in the province of Aklan wherein the doctor is a native, spoke to Inquirer and expressed that abrupt conclusion might cause a distraction.
“We should not conclude right away because this could be just to divert us from those really responsible,” Councilor Perlas expressed to the source based on the news report.
Moreover, based on the report, the late municipal health officer’s father expressed that the detail is just that Democer “was a gun-for-hire responsible for many killings” yet “it does not necessarily mean that he is the killer of my son.”
Based on a previous news report, Democer was shot dead by the joint team of police and military after he tried to escape.
According to Army’s 15th Infantry Batallion Commander Lt. Col. Audie Mongao, the police and military were tasked to serve him a warrant of arrest. The said arrest warrant has been issued against him by Kapatagan Regional Trial Court Judge Alberto Quinto.
