TOP STORY: Dismissed cop Jefrey Perez is found guilty of murdering Carl Angelo Arnaiz, 19, and Kulot de Guzman, 14, as police implemented Rodrigo Duterte's drug war in 2017.
MANILA, Philippines – A Navotas court convicted dismissed cop Jefrey Perez for the murders of Rizal teenagers Carl Angelo Arnaiz and Reynaldo “Kulot” de Guzman in 2017, in a decision released to the public on Monday, March 13.
To Arnaiz’s family, Perez was ordered to pay the amount of P300,000 for civil, moral, and exemplary damages. Perez was previously convicted by a Caloocan court of torture and planting of evidence, in relation to Arnaiz’s case in November 2022. An autopsy by the Public Attorney’s Office showed a different picture of what happened. PAO presented evidence showing Arnaiz was handcuffed, beaten up, and then killed. The taxi driver who allegedly got robbed by Arnaiz also later said that he was forced to provide a false affidavit against Arnaiz.
