Carcar police get most wanted man
A 23-year-old man, deemed by the
The police, after taking a tip from a resident who knew about the activities of Ryan Saducas, a resident of barangay Liburon of the city, got into his hiding place to arrest him. They will turn him over to the courts where he is facing several criminal cases.
PO1 Renedo Villaraiz of Carcar City Police Station said Saducas was with his friends drinking liquor outside the house of a certain Berting Bacon of
The policemen immediately encircled the house to prevent Saducas from escaping, and when they asked Bacon about the suspect’s presence, the house owner reportedly denied Saducas was inside.
The police apparently did not believe Bacon’s words and they decided to stay and cordon off the house while asking all those inside to come out.
They kept on calling Saducas to surrender but failed to convince him, until a suspect’s friend, identified as Jay Camotes, arrived and helped the police to convince him to give-up.
Villaraiz explained that although they had four warrants of arrest against Saducas, they could not force their way inside for lack of a search warrant, which Bacon has been demanding while preventing them from going inside.
Superintendent Teofilo Siclot, in a telephone interview with The Freeman, said they are studying if they could file charges for “harboring criminals” against Bacon because of his intervention and denial of Saducas’ presence in his house.
The warrants of arrest against Saducas were 1) for murder issued by Judge Generosa Labra of RTC-branch 23; 2) for attempted murder issued by Judge Estela Alma Singco of RTC-branch 12; 3) for homicide issued by Judge Bienvenido Saniel of RTC-branch 20; and 4) for grave threats issued by Judge Grace Ypil.
Saducas was one of the suspects in what the police believed was a gang-related violence in barangay Liburon last April when three people were killed and one was injured.
In that incident, the fatalities were Manuel Bacalan, 22, who was shot dead, Roel Bargamento, 35, and Elmer Alcuizar, 49, who died on his way to the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center.
Investigators said Bacalan and Bargamento were drinking liquor with their friends under a jackfruit tree in sitio San Roque, barangay Liburon when a masked man allegedly sneaked from behind and fired at them. Alcuizar, who happened to be in the area, was hit by a stray bullet.
One of the victims reportedly managed, before he died, to tell his brother that one of their assailants was Saducas. The police eventually filed a case against him.
In January, Saducas was also tagged as the alleged killer of a man in the same area. Residents have been complaining since December last year about the series of shootings in their place involving motorcycle-riding attackers. — Edwin Ian Melecio/RAE
