MANILA - Three Philippine police officers wanted for the alleged murder of a Spanish businessman in 2020 have turned themselves in to the authorities, said the justice ministry on Wednesday.
He was among the thousands of people killed during a drug war started by former president Rodrigo Duterte and continued by his successor Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Arrest warrants had been issued for the three officers, but they were “nowhere to be found”, the justice ministry said in its statement issued on Wednesday.State prosecutors had filed charges of murder and planting of evidence against them in March 2022, after a review of the case cast doubt on their version of events.
They were initially given a 60-day suspension from duty over the killing, according to the Justice Department’s review panel.
