Military's 10th ID supports police probe vs Army trooper

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 9): Military's 10th ID supports police probe vs Army trooper

The Compostela Valley-based 10th Infantry Division has assured it will cooperate with an ongoing police probe on the fatal shooting incident involving one of its troopers in Tagum City last Aug. 7.

Capt. Rhyan Batchar, 10th Infantry Division public affairs office chief, identified the suspect as Pfc. Ian Paul Pascua, a member of the 60th Infantry Battalion.

Pascua is held by police and undergoing investigation for the shooting and killing of Juan Clarion Alvarez, 62, at Purok Maharlika, Barangay Cuambugon, Tagum City after a heated spat.

Batchar said Pascual initially escaped but decided to surrender to his company commander later that day.

"We will fully support and cooperate on the investigations that the Philippine National Police and other concerned agencies undertake. The command does not condone any misbehavior or participation in criminal acts of our soldiers," Batchar said.
