MANILA\u2014Former PNP Anti-Illegal Drugs Group-Pampanga (AIDG) head Superintendent Rafael Dumlao III on Tuesday refuted his alleged involvement in the kidnap-slay of South Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo.<\/p>\n

Dumlao made the statement in his submitted counter-affidavit during the continuation of reinvestigation of the case<\/p>\n

In his 13-page counter-affidavit, Dumlao denied the allegations of other respondents SPO2 Ricky Sta. Isabel, Senior Police Officer 4 Roy Villegas and Jerry Omlang, who tagged him as the mastermind in Jee’s abduction and killing last October.<\/p>\n

“The testimony of witnesses and records of the investigation have no showing that I performed any overt act that would make me liable for the crime of kidnapping for ransom and illegal detention with homicide. It is crystal clear that I was never present in the kidnapping and\/or detention of the victims, including the event of his eventual demise,” Dumlao said in his counter-affidavit.<\/p>\n

With this, he asked the DOJ to dismiss the charges against him, citing inconsistencies in the statements of Sta. Isable, Villegas and Omlang.<\/p>\n

Dumlao also said in his counter-affidavit that he implicated the three NBI officials in the case namely former NBI deputy director for investigation services Jose “Jojo” Yap; former National Capital Region (NCR) director Ricardo Diaz and former Task Force against Illegal Drugs head Roel Bolivar – in his previous affidavit because he recalled Sta. Isabel dropping their names as those behind the operation on Jee.<\/p>\n

The other respondents – Gream funeral employees Epephany Gotera, Teodolito Macato Tarepe, Kevin Enriquez, Robert John Tobias and Bernardo Maraya -also submitted their counter-affidavits and denied knowledge and participation in the kidnapping and killing of the Korean businessman.<\/p>\n

The DOJ panel composed of Senior Assistant State Prosecutors Juan Pedro Navera and Olivia Torrevillas, who handle the re-investigation on the kidnapping for ransom and serious illegal detention with homicide case received the counter-affidavits.<\/p>\n

The panel of prosecutors directed the three NBI officials who were implicated in the Jee Ick Joo kidnap-slay case to submit their counter affidavits on Friday.<\/p>\n

To recall, the Jan. 17 resolution penned by Torrevillas only named three accused in the kidnapping for ransom with homicide case: Sta. Isabel, Villegas and Yalung while other suspects tagged in the case were identified only through aliases “Pulis,” “Ding,” “Jerry,” and “Sir Dumlao.”<\/p>\n

The resolution was received by the Pampanga Regional Trial Court Branch 58. The local court granted primary suspect Sta. Isabel’s request for reinvestigation.<\/p>\n

RTC Judge Pangilinan gave the DOJ 60 days “to conduct the reinvestigation and to submit the resolution.”<\/p>\n

The court also reset the arraignment of the accused to April 19.<\/p>\n
