A policeman was arrested after killing his fellow policeman and fraternity member for allegedly refusing to take illegal drugs during a party in Tondo, Manila Wednesday night.
Police Officer 1 Mark Sagun, who is being being held at the Manila Police District (MPD) homicide section detention cell, was charged with murder, illegal drug possession and car theft.
Sagun is detailed at the National Capital Regional Police Office Regional Police Holding Administrative Unit.
Police Officer 1 Louie Wang, assigned at the MPD anti-drug unit, was declared dead on arrival at the Gat Andres Bonifacio Memorial Medical Center from four gunshot wounds.
Sagun, Wang, Cesar Lajom and two others were celebrating the anniversary of their fraternity, Magic 5, at a house on Hermosa street when the suspect invited them to go to a house on Canal dela Reina street, said Senior Police Officer 2 John Charles Duran.
After several minutes, an argument broke out between Sagun and Wang and led to the shooting at past 8 p.m.
“The suspect said he just defended himself because Wang drew his gun first,” Duran toldThe STAR.
Sagun refused to comment when asked.
However, an insider said one of the witnesses told investigators the two men argued over illegal drugs.
The source said investigators are trying to determine if Sagun indeed wanted to use shabu, to which Wang objected.
After the shooting, Sagun rushed out of the house and commandeered Eliser Halamani’s motorcycle (ME-38733) at gunpoint.
Halamani shouted for help, attracting the attention of Police Officer 2 Anthony Quilantang and his companions, who were passing through the area.
Investigators found a sachet of shabu in Sagun’s wallet, hidden under his Philippine National Police (PNP) identification card.
MPD Station 1 commander Superintendent Redentor Ulsano rued the death of Wang, who he said was a good anti-narcotics operative.
“He was my (undercover) buyer. I lost one of my best men and it is actually the loss of the whole PNP organization,” Ulsano told The STAR.
