ANGELES CITY – A P100,000 cash reward awaits
anyone who could help in the arrest of the killer of a local campus beauty
queen and taekwondo black belter who was stabbed dead in her dormitory here
March 2.
Former Capas, Tarlac mayor Reynaldo
Catacutan, now the vice president for operations of the Clark International
Airport Corp., said the reward was raised by prominent residents of Capas town
where the family of victim Danielle HuetConde, 17, is well known.
“She was like a daughter to me since she had
been a close friend of one of my children,” Catacutan said of Conde, this
year’s Miss Engineering and Architecture Department of Holy Angel University
and member of the school’s taekwondo team.
This, as a new suspect in the killing of Condewas
arrested March 9, the same day the victim was laid to rest.
Based on new pieces of evidence and the
testimonies of new witnesses, suspect Vladimir Dianzon, 32, was nabbed in his
home in the City of San Fernando, said Senior Supt. Jose Santiago Hidalgo Jr.,
city police chief.
With Dianzon’s arrest, police released
Rolando Estrada who gave himself up a day earlier after being tagged in the
killing of Danielle Louise HuetConde, a student of the Holy Angel University.
In a police line-up, Estrada was identified
by two witnesses, both minors, compelling the police to place him under arrest.
Despite Estrada being in their custody,
police still pursued their investigation, leading them to Dianzon, who yielded
a mountain bike with bloodstains.
According to Hidalgo, two more witnesses
surfaced and tagged Dianzon as the man on a bicycle they saw fleeing from the
crime scene with blood on his right hand.
A 12-year-old witness also confirmed that it
was Dianzon, not Estrada, he saw escaping from Conde’s apartment.
About 2,000 people, including relatives and
friends, attended Conde’s burial last March 9.
Conde’s father Adolfo said his daughter, was
planning to take the entrance exam of the Philippine Military Academy.
