Accused in Balweg slay freed

-

BAGUIO CITY – One of the accused in the 1999 killing of priest-turned-rebel Conrado Balweg was freed after spending five months in the Abra provincial jail.

Meanwhile, three leaders of a militant farmers’ group in the Ilocos region were also released last Friday.

Citing lack of probable cause, the Abra Regional Trial Court Judge Corpuz Alzate dismissed the murder charges against United Church of Christ of the Philippines (UCCP) pastor Francisco Bonuan in connection with Balweg’s slay on Dec. 30, 1999.

Bonuan was arrested in Baguio City last April.
