Rookie cop kills live-in partner out of jealousy
August 15, 2001 | 12:00am
Extreme jealousy reportedly drove a rookie policeman to shoot dead his live-in partner in Pandacan, Manila yesterday morning.
Homicide investigators identified the suspect as Police Officer 1 Manuel Garcia, 25, of Kahilum 1, Pandacan, Manila. He is now detained in Camp Crame.
Police said the victim, Raquel Kenniker, 32, died from two gunshots wounds in the left breast. The suspect fled after the incident.
According to Western Police District (WPD) investigator SPO1 Raul Olavarrio, the suspect barged into the room of the victim, who was then sleeping, around 12:40 a.m. and confronted her about an alleged affair with another man.
A heated argument then ensued between the suspect and the victim. At the height of their argument, the suspect reportedly took out his 9mm service pistol and shot the victim twice at close range.
Meanwhile, Manila police arrested a 25-year-old security guard for allegedly shooting his colleague in Intramuros, Manila, also yesterday morning.
Police said Oliver Aglawan, of the Magnet Security Agency allegedly shot and seriously injured his fellow guard Artemio Orodio, 34, also of the same agency. Both were stationed at a truck yard in Cabildo Street in Intramuros, Manila.
Initial reports said the shooting was triggered by Orodio’s alleged failure to relieve the suspect from duty on time 12:30 a.m.
During the heated argument, the suspect reportedly took out his caliber .38 service pistol and shot the victim in the abdomen.
Bystanders later caught the suspect as he was about to escape and brought him to the police station.
The victim was brought to the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center in Sta. Cruz and is now undergoing treatment for his gunshot wound. Frustrated homicide charges are being readied by the police against the suspect.
In Malabon, a rowdy drunk man was shot dead while a policeman was seriously wounded during a brief shootout Monday night.
Police said Mario Ignacio, 43, of Block 13, Labahita Street, Barangay Longos died instantly from a gunshot wound in the head while Senior Police Officer 1 Edgardo Malubay of the Malabon Police Community Precinct 3 was shot in the abdomen.
Investigators said that at around 8:30 p.m., the police station received a call from residents of Labahita Street, reporting that a heavily drunk Ignacio was creating trouble and pointing a caliber .38 revolver at on-lookers and passersby.
Malubay and PO1 Rommel Abarro responded to the scene and tried to pacify Ignacio.
But Ignacio allegedly shot the policemen, hitting Malubay in the abdomen. Abarro fired back with his 9 mm service firearm, hitting Ignacio in the head.
Police recovered Ignacio’s service firearm which was still loaded with three bullets. – Nikko Dizon
