Senior Superintendent Moises Guevarra, Malabon police chief, commended his men at the Warrant and Subpoena Section, led by SPO2 Edgardo Cristobal, for the arrest of suspect Gabriel Santiago, 50, a construction worker and resident of Sto. Niño, Purok 3, Hagonoy, Bulacan.
The suspect had been the subject of a manhunt for the killing of Edwin Martin and a certain "Delfin," both of Navotas, in 2001.
Santiago was arrested in Barangay Tuktukan in Guiginto, Bulacan on the strength of a warrant issued by Malabon Judge Benjamin Antonio.
Guevarra said he received information on the whereabouts of Santiago, who was spotted in his hometown in Bulacan.
He immediately sent a team led by Cristobal. Santiago has been turned over to the court of origin for disposition.
