Five policemen assigned to the police station in Bindoy, Oriental Negros, are being recommended for temporary transfer to the provincial police office at Camp Fernandez in Agan-an, Sibulan, pending investigation on the death of a detained theft suspect. Insp. Domeniciano Distrito Jr., lead investigating officer of the NORPPO, was set to submit his recommendation to acting provincial police director Supt. Juanito Condes yesterday.

The four cops earlier linked to the death of Danilo Dicon, 48, a widower and resident of Bulod, Bindoy, by shoving him into the sea were identified as PO1s Wenzel Torres, John Ray Vailoces and Rey Amaro and PO2 Darwin Anhao.
