THE Regional Trial Court of Caloocan City has declared Police Officer 1 Jeffrey Perez guilty of planting of evidence and torture in connection with the brutal killings of teenagers Carl Angelo Arnaiz and Reynaldo “Kulot” de Guzman in August 2017.
Perez, along with his co-accused PO1 Ricky Arquilita, claimed that Arnaiz was killed in a shooting incident during a legitimate anti-illegal drug operation. Arquilita died during the pendency of the trial of the case, which extinguished his criminal liability. Forensic examination on Arnaiz’s body showed that he was kneeling when he was shot several times on the chest, suggesting intentional killing on the part of the accused.
“PO1 Jeffrey S. Perez is found guilty beyond reasonable doubt for all the crimes charged against him,” Pascua said in his ruling dated November 10.
