ANGELES CITY – Still without any suspect exactly a month today since the murder of a brother of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) governor and two others here, the police task force tasked to solve the case has backtracked its probe to the day of the crime to find yet another M-16 bullet that killed one of the victims.
Senior Supt. Wendy Rosario, head of Task Force Tetangco-Yap, told Punto that despite testimonies from 25 persons queried by the police, probers have yet to identify suspects in the killing of Rena Tetangco, brother of BSP governor Amando Tetangco, businessman Florencio Yap and Yap’s aide Dennis Guinto. Their bullet riddled bodies were found inside Yap’s Ford Expedition van abandoned on a vacant lot in Barangay Pampanga here last June 2.
In a text message, Rosario said he ordered his men to back track their investigation to the day of murder by asking personnel from Ford car company to scrutinize the Expedition van in the hope that this would yield more physical evidence.
“We hired experts from Ford who removed the carpets and seat covers. This enabled Scene of the Crime Operations (SOCO) probers to recover another slug of M16 embedded in the seat where victim Guinto was seated,” he said. When found, the body of Guinto was crouched on the floor of the vehicle’s back compartment.
“My theory is that that bullet was the one that killed Guinto,” Rosario said.
Rosario lamented that despite a reward of P400,000 offered by the police to anyone who had information that could identify the suspects in the killing, “there has been no significant development” in the case.
“Twenty five individuals were invited (by the police) and they voluntarily gave their statements. But their statements have not pointed to any suspect,” he said.
Among those who had given statements were former Bacolor Mayor Romeo Dungca and former provincial board member Dinan Labung., The victims were on their way to play poker with them at Kinbg’s Poker and Sports Club here, but they were killed on their way.
