Son of OFW in Dubai tagged as ‘robber’, ‘drug user’; shot dead in Navotas
The policemen involved in the killing of the son of a Dubai-based overseas Filipino worker (OFW) in Caloocan City were removed from their post on September 3.
Based on a report in Unang Balita on September 4, Police Officer 1 Jeffrey Perez and Police Officer 1 Ricky Aquilita were relieved of their duties and transferred to Camp Bagong Diwa.
Based on their narrative, they exchanged shots with 19-year-old Carl Angelo Arnaiz past 3:30 A.M. on August 18.
In their sworn affidavit, Arnaiz held up a taxi driver on C3 Road and took his wallet, hit him with a gun then fled the scene. The policemen saw Arnaiz walking and when they tried to talk to him, he opened fire against them that resulted into an exchange of bullets.
Tomas Bagcal, the taxi driver, positively confirmed that it was Arnaiz who held him up earlier.
The policemen also reported that marijuana and shabu were found on Arnaiz, leading to speculations that these are his way of coping with his depression.
However, the Public Attorney’s Office examinations showed that Arnaiz died from getting tortured, with his arms bearing handcuff marks and his eyes swollen. They also said that he was kneeling when he was shot several times on the chest.
His body was only found 10 days after he was declared missing in Ezekiel Funeral Home. The funeral parlor saw a Facebook post about him and contacted the family to confirm if it is Arnaiz’s body.
Arnaiz’ mother, Eva Magat, who works in Dubai for five years, came back to the country to search for his son when he was still missing.
