Remulla issued the statement as the Degamo family said it was readying a murder complaint against 3rd District Rep. Arnolfo A. Teves Jr., in connection with the governor’s killing on March 4.
Besides, he added, the sophisticated operation would not be possible without the cooperation of many people.“We now have in our custody 10 persons. Nine of whom participated directly in the attack against Degamo,” Remulla said. On March 4, Degamo and eight others were killed while several others were injured in the attack that was pulled off while the governor was distributing aid to his constituents at his residence in Pamplona.
Teves, who earlier left for the United States and is now believed to be somewhere in Southeast Asia, had denied his involvement in the killing. On Tuesday, he released a video asking for fairness and claiming that he was also a “victim.” At least nine suspects in the Degamo killing that also resulted in the deaths of eight other persons in Pamplona town are now in the custody of the NBI.
