(Eagle News) — The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group has filed an administrative complaint against Daraga, Albay Mayor Carlwyn Baldo in connection with the killing of Rep. Rodel Batocabe.
Charges for conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service and graft and corruption were filed against the mayor, who was tagged by the police as the mastermind in the killing of Batocabe in December last year, before the Ombudsman.
Also killed during the incident was Batocabe’s security aide, SP01 Orlando Diaz.
Injured were six people.
The police had said the killing was politically motivated, as Batocabe was killed after he announced his plans to run for mayor of Daraga.
Baldo reportedly had plans to seek reelection in the 2019 elections.
Earlier, the police filed murder and frustrated murder charges against Baldo and six others in connection with the incident.
