DOJ Urges 9 Dismissed Jolo Police Who Killed Philippine 4 Army Intel to Surrender
Department of Justice (DOJ) urged the nine (9) dismissed police involved in killing four Philippine Army Intel in Jolo, Sulu to surrender.
Justice Sec. Menardo Guevarra said that instead of being chased by their former peers, such policemen should just voluntarily surrender. This follows the release of them by the Philippine National Police (PNP) because they are no longer under their jurisdiction and due to the lack of arrest warrants.
Guevarra also ordered prosecutors to file an urgent motion in the Sulu Regional Trial Court for the issuance of a hold departure order against the accused. It will be recalled that the lower court in Sulu could not issue an arrest order because Sulu was locked down.
