THE Supreme Court (SC) has suspended a judge in Malabon City who is handling the controversial Ruby Rose Barrameda slay case for his irregular and over-issuance of search warrants in different cases.

In a full-court ruling penned by Associate Justice Mariano del Castillo and promulgated by clerk of court Felipa Anama, the SC found Presiding Judge Zaldy Docena, Regional Trial Court (RTC), Branch 170, Malabon City, “guilty of gross neglect of duty, and hereby suspends him from office for a period of two (2) years without pay, with a stern warning that a repetition of the same or similar acts will be dealt with more severely.”
