Police in Espinosa case face sanctions

Refusing to divulge contents of its report, the National Police Commission (Napolcom) on Thursday said it recommended sanctions against policemen involved in the fatal shooting of jailed former Albuera (Leyte) Mayor Rolando Espinosa and another inmate.

Napolcom Vice Chairman Rogelio Casurao said the commission found probable cause to issue the recommendation based on the pieces of evidence gathered when former Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Region 8 head Supt. Marvin Marcos and his team served a search warrant on Espinosa who was killed in the Leyte provincial jail last November 5.
