By Jun Elias

CAMP DIEGO SILANG, La Union  – A dismissed police officer was arrested last week by agents of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group  for the murder of his colleague 12 years ago.

Leoncio Diaz, 55, was arrested in his hideout in San Antonio, Zambales for allegedly killing Police Officer 3 Randy Fernandez in Pangasinan in September 2002, said Senior Supt. Francisco Esguerra, CIDG regional chief.

Esguerra said Diaz admitted to killing Fernandez, a member of the Sto. Tomas police station in Pangasinan.

He said the suspect claimed that the killing was due to a personal grudge and alleged that he was with a certain Sonny Galisim when he shot Fernandez.

No bail was recommended for Diaz’s temporary liberty.
