An alleged serial killer who was tagged as a suspect in multiple murders was arrested in Donsol, Sorsogon, the Philippine National Police (PNP) – Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) said on Tuesday.
In a statement, the CIDG said the suspect identified as “Michael” was arrested in Barangay Bororan on December 21 by virtue of two arrest warrants for homicide.
The CIDG said Michael is known as a “notorious serial killer.”
In September 2012, the CIDG said Michael allegedly stabbed a man to death in Donsol. The suspect and an accomplice supposedly entered the bedroom of the victim where Michael allegedly stabbed multiple times and slashed the neck of the victim.
In November 2015, the CIDG said Michael also stabbed to death another victim in Imus City, Cavite after a heated argument during a drinking spree.
In October 2023, the CIDG said Michael was also involved in the fatal stabbing and slashing of the necks of two more victims in Imus. The two were sitting outside their house when Michael allegedly attacked them without provocation, according to the police.
Michael was brought to the CIDG Cavite Provincial Field Unit office for documentation and proper disposition.
“This operation demonstrates the PNP’s unwavering commitment to apprehending fugitives and ensuring public safety. The arrest of Michael sends a clear message that no criminal can evade justice. We remain steadfast in our fight for the peace and security of our nation,” PNP chief Police General Rommel Marbil said.
For his part, CIDG chief Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III said “the CIDG upholds the public its dedication to serve and protect people from lawless elements. We will never relent in locating them and holding them responsible for their crimes, dahil ang gusto ng pulis ligtas ka! [the police want you to be safe.”] — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
