Cops who killed drug suspect inside Pasay police station to attend Senate hearing


The two policemen who killed a drug suspect and his father inside the Pasay City Police Station are expected to attend the second day of the Senate's hearing on alleged extrajudicial killings on Tuesday morning.

The two policemen, identified in a radio dzBB report as Police Officer 2 Alipio Balo and Police Officer 1 Michael Tomas, were spotted outside the Senate building.

The two policemen have been charged with murder for the killing of Jaypee Bertes and his father, Renato, inside the police station last July 7.

They are also facing administrative charges for the killing of Bertes and his father.

Bertes and his father were arrested from their house in Pasay City the same day that they were shot dead.

Bertes' wife testified during the first day of the Senate hearing on Monday.

The widow accused the policemen of receiving bribe money from her late husband for his previous crimes.

She said the policemen had no search warrant when they entered their house and arrested her husband.

One of the policemen allegedly threatened to kill her as they were forcing her to produce illegal drugs. —ALG, GMA News
