From the Mindanao Times (Nov 22): Slain cop laid to rest
POLICE officer 3 Wilfredo Garol was laid to rest at Calinan Memorial Park yesterday noon amid calls from his relatives for justice.
Garol, 34, an intelligence officer of Baguio Police Precinct who was killed by New People’s Army (NPA) gunmen last Nov. 13, was given burial honors.
Before the burial, a mass was offered to him at the Sacred Heart Parish in Calinan.
Police regional director, Chief Supt. Manuel Gaerlan, has confirmed that NPA hitmen killed Garol.
“We have the description of the two (suspects), but (there are) no names yet. Of course, these members of the NPA are using aliases,” Gaerlan said.
Garol, a resident of Rubber village in Calinan District, died from eight gunshot wounds on the different parts of his body, the autopsy results showed.
The victim was killed by two of his hitchhiking passengers in Barangay New Valencia, Tugbok District at 7:45 a.m. on Monday. His firearm was stolen.
Sr. Insp. Maria Teresita Gaspan, the spokesperson of Davao City Police Office (DCPO), said the victim’s widow received P100,000 financial assistance from DCPO’s mortuary funds.
The victim’s family was also assured of financial assistance and scholarship grant through the program of President Rodrigo Duterte intended to the bereaved families of any of the member of the police or military killed in action.
A day prior to the burial, DCPO Director Sr. Supt Alexander Tagum and his command staff visited Garol’s wake at Angel Funeral, Calinan.
