On April 13, 1991, father and son Nelson and Rickson Peñalosa were shot to death by the mayor’s henchmen. Nelson was then a political leader and supporter of Sanchez’s political opponent.
The case was tried by Branch 160 of the Pasig Regional Trial Court, which rendered its verdict in 1996. Both rulings of the two lower courts were affirmed by the Supreme Court in 1999 — the Peñalosa slay case by its First Division through Associate Justice Bernardo Pardo and the Sarmenta-Gomez rape-slay case also by its First Division through Associate Justice Alicia Austria-Martinez.
There are also reports that in 2006, a complaint was filed against Sanchez after he was found in possession of marijuana.
