“Diezon” ambush suspects charged
THREE months into the investigation of the failed ambush committed against Clarin Vice Mayoralty candidate last May 10, police operatives have filed appropriate charges against five accused criminals.
Implicated in the ambush against former Clarin Mayor Hermogenes Diezon and his driver were Felimon Allison, Gildo Infiesto all of Poblacion Clarin, Dario Aparicio of Behind the Clouds Batuan, Junior Reducto of Alegria Carmen and Christopher Ugong of Bayug, Clarin.
Police said as they earlier theorized that the crime was election related, they got it correct.
It may be recalled that Diezon was riding a government vehicle about 3:45 AM last May 10 on his way to Barangay Bungtod.
While the driver was navigating at Sito Labangon, Poblacion Sur, some three gunmen started shooting at the vehicle, which is a maroon Mazda with plate number SGH 134.
Diezon, his driver and another unnamed person escaped unhurt, but the vehicle sustained 7 gunshot holes, according to the police blotter.
The case against the five accused was filed at the provincial fiscals office last August 10, 2010, said PIDMB Chief PWayne Pillado Magbanua. (PIABohol)
