Arnolfo Teves Jr., a former Filipino congressman, has been arrested on accusations of orchestrating the killings of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo and eight others.
A former Filipino congressman accused of masterminding the killings of a provincial governor and several others has been arrested in East Timor and will be deported to the Philippines, Philippine justice officials said Friday. Police arrested Arnolfo Teves Jr. while he was playing at a golf driving range Thursday in East Timor’s capital of Dili, where he has tried to seek asylum, the Philippine Department of Justice said.
At least six men armed with assault rifles and wearing military camouflage and bullet-resistant vests walked calmly into Degamo’s residential compound and opened fire in an attack that was captured on security cameras. The shooters fled in three SUVs and authorities later announced the capture of a number of suspects. Teves denied any involvement in the killing of Degamo and the other victims and said without elaborating that he was set up.
