OLONGAPO City: A senior police officer being linked to the death of
Viva Hot Babe Scarlet Garcia Bouffard denied any participation in
the said crime. Bouffard was found dead along with three others
inside her apartment last week.
Police authorities identified the senior police
officer as SPO1 Leopoldo Vitug, a motor vehicle inspector of the
Traffic Management Group based in Camp Crame.
Vitug however denied that he had a hand in the
killing after PNP Chief Avelino Razon Jr. ordered TMG Director Chief
Supt. Perfecto Palad to restrict the police officer in their
quarters in Camp Crame and to undergo paraffin test.
The officer’s name was dragged into the case
after authorities found his uniform, ID and ball cap with TMG
markings inside the car of Bouffard, a silver Toyota Vios with plate
number ZAJ-203 parked outside the apartment.
Bouffard, 23, was found dead together with her
cousin, Rachel Estacio, 20; Van Mark Bandejas, 20; and her boyfriend
Jorge Vitug, 27. All four had gunshot wounds in the head.
Jorge Vitug is reportedly the nephew of SPO1
Vitug.
In a television interview over ABS-CBN, SPO1
Vitug said he had no idea how and when his nephew got his ID and
uniform. He said the last time he saw his nephew was when the
younger Vitug’s father died last year.
