Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 11) Police Staff Sergeant Jonel Nuezca, who was caught on video last month killing a mother and son in Tarlac, has been dismissed from police service, Philippine National Police chief Debold Sinas said Monday.
Sinas announced in his media briefing that Nuezca s dismissal was deemed effective on Monday, after the PNP Internal Affairs Service resolved an administrative case against him for grave misconduct and conduct unbecoming of a police officer.
The dismissal was already implemented by National Capital Region Police Office regional director Vicente Danao Jr., Sinas added, as Nuezca was last assigned in Parañaque.
He added that speedy justice and making Nuezca accountable after due process “is the more effective deterrence to crime and misconduct also helps restore the trust of the citizens in our police force and in our justice system”. (File Photo: Paniqui Municipal Police)
