Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr., who has denied having a hand in the recent assassination of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo, was accused by the police on Tuesday of ordering a series of murders in his province four years ago.
The Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group accused Teves and five others of murder for the killings that took place in various parts of Negros Oriental.
The third victim, Pacito Libron, was killed on June 23, 2019, in Barangay Malabugas, Bayawan City, the lawyer said.Citing witness testimonies, Baligod said political rivalry was the reason Teves allegedly ordered the killings. Pamplona Mayor Janice Vallega-Degamo, Degamo’s widow, urged police investigators to focus on politics as the motive.The widow said only wealthy and powerful people who had an ax to grind against the governor could do it.
Degamo, who was to turn 57 in April, died in the hospital after being shot repeatedly by one of several men in Army uniforms and bulletproof vests who casually walked into his residential compound in Pamplona town. Eight other people were killed, while 17, including three provincial officials, were wounded.On a number of occasions, Teves challenged Degamo to a fistfight in social media posts to settle their differences.
