After a series of operational lapses committed by its personnel, the PNP assured the public that “those found to have abused their power would be punished promptly.” | dexcabalzaINQ /PDI
He added that ground commanders may soon undergo seminars and refresher courses on standard operating procedures.
Maranan said all six had been disarmed and would be placed under restrictive custody at the Northern Police District headquarters in Caloocan City. Withholding their names, he said the six had undergone inquest proceedings in the Navotas prosecutor’s office on charges of “reckless imprudence resulting to homicide”.
Quoting a report from Navotas police chief Col. Allan Umipig, Maranan said the six lawmen were on a follow-up operation after a shooting that killed a certain Cristelo Mahinay around 2:45 a.m. on Aug. 2 in Barangay NBBS Kaunlaran. A suspect had been arrested but another escaped and was reported to be hiding in a boat.Upon arriving at the scene, the policemen saw Baltazar and a friend on a boat preparing to go fishing—and suddenly fired at them.
“We are checking if there was an imminent threat to the officers. But the way we look at it, the victim was not armed. We want to know why they fired. But one thing is for sure, we will not tolerate the lapses and the errors of our police officers,” Maranan told reporters.
