Palace assures justice to mother, son killed by Parañaque cop: ‘No ifs, no buts’

By Prince Golez

Malacañang on Monday condemned the killing of Sonya Gregorio and her son Frank by Police Corporal Jonel Nuezca on Sunday in Paniqui, Tarlac.

The shooting incident stemmed from the firing of a PVC cannon by the Gregorios. They had also been involved in a property right-of-way dispute.

“Kinukondena po natin yung nangayri diyan sa Tarlac. Lilinawin ko, lang po hindi ito service-related na double murder, ito ay isang away daw tungkol sa pag position sa lupa,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a televised briefing.

Nuezca, who is assigned to the Parañaque City Crime Laboratory, shot the two unarmed victims twice each in the head. The cop has since surrendered and is now in police custody.

“Ang police pong yan ay hindi pupuwedeng mag invoke ng kahit anong depensa na may kinalaman sa kanyang katungkulin. Ito ay tatratuhin na ordinaryong murder cases at iimbestigahan, kakasuhan at lilitisin. Mapaparusahan natin ang police na yan. No ifs, no buts,” added Roque.

“Magkakroon ng katarungan dahil nakita natin ang ebisensya nung pangyayari. Hindi po yan puprotektahan ng Presidente,” he concluded.
