BCPO
inmate who drank
insecticide dies at hospital
The 71-year-old inmate who drank insecticide at the
detention cell of the Bacolod City police office, died at the hospital
Wednesday.
The detainee, whose name is being withheld by
the DAILY STAR, was rushed to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial
Regional Hospital Monday after he took in 120 ml of Malathion insecticide,
police reports said. The Bacolod Warrant and Subpoena Section operatives
had apprehended the inmate on the strength of an arrest warrant
issued by Judge Ray Alan Drilon of the Regional Trial Court, Branch
41, for allegedly raping his two minor daughters in 2005.
Meanwhile, Supt. Pedrito Escarilla, chief of the
Bacolod Intelligence and Investigation Branch, yesterday said they
are still determining who gave the insecticide to the inmate. He
said their investigation showed that the last persons who visited
him were his brother and wife.
Acting Bacolod police director Senior Supt. Ronilo
Quebrar had instructed Escarilla to determine the administrative
liabilities of the police officer assigned at the BCPO detention
cell.
Quebrar said the policeman may be administratively
liable if it is proved that his negligence resulted in the entry
of the insecticide taken by the inmate.*DMG

Cops dispose
of 6 bombs
The Bacolod City Mobile Group yesterday disposed
of six explosives, one of them a World War II aerial bomb, at the
northern portion of the reclamation area in Brgy. 8, Bacolod City.
Chief Insp. Armando Tubongbanua, CMG head, yesterday
said they disposed of the bombs and grenades near the seashore,
but far away from residences for safety.
Bacolod bomb technician Denny Montoya said they
buried the explosives about four feet below the ground and placed
blasting caps on them for disposal. He said they collected the bombs
from concerned citizens who endorsed them to his office.
Tubongbanua said the bombs had to be disposed so
they could not be hazards to the public. Three hours after the bomb
disposal, a Bacolod resident yesterday endorsed another bomb artillery
shell to the Bacolod City police office, Montoya said. He said the
bomb was dug up by workers of a construction company in Brgy. Alijis,
Bacolod City at about 3 p.m. yesterday.*DMG
