A 47-year-old police officer shot and killed his 19-year-old nephew last Thursday in Barangay Poblacion, Dumanjug town in southwestern Cebu.
PO1 Achilles Redoble surrendered to the Dumanjug Police Station after he shot Darryl Redoble Cerdon, said PO1 Lorenel Labasa of the Dumanjug Police station.
Redoble also turned over his 9 mm service pistol which he used to shoot Cerdon three times in the body, said Labasa.
According to the investigation, Redoble and Cerdon were arguing when suddenly Redoble pulled out his gun and shot Cerdon, who is a Third Year IT student of a Cebu university and the son of Redoble’s sister.
Cerdon was rushed to a Barili hospital, but he didn’t reach the hospital alive.
Labasa said that the families of Redoble and Cerdon had been at odds for quite a while, which was the reason for the argument.
Redoble told Labasa that he lost his cool after his nephew continued to talk back to him and disrespect him.
Redoble was assigned at the Guadalupe Police Station. He once was assigned at the Dumanjug Police Station and later a police station in Bohol. From
Bohol, he was transferred to the Guadalupe police station early this year.
Redoble was detained at the Dumanjug police station pending the filing of charges.
