CAMP KANGLEON, Palo, Leyte  –  The Regional Special Operations Group (RSOG8) of the Police Regional Office 8 (PRO8) continues to conduct manhunt operations against persons wanted by the law as two men were arrested by the elite group in separate operations in Leyte and Samar provinces recently.

“We activated RSOG purposely to act as PRO8’s primary operations arm to enforce special laws and capture high profile criminals,” Police Chief Superintendent Elmer Ragadio Soria, PRO8 Director said.

Soria informed that intelligence operations conducted by RSOG operatives in Tarangnan, Samar and Sta. Fe, Leyte paid off as 2 persons wanted for murder and frustrated parricide were collared by the elite group in manhunt operations in said areas.

The region’s top cop identified the suspects David Tamor Subito alias Bobong, wanted for Murder, and Lawrence Gariando Negradas, charged with Frustrated Parricide.

Subito, 29, a farmer, was collared by police authorities led by Police Inspector Constantino Jabonete, Jr. at vicinity of Brgy C in Tarangnan, Samar after weeks of surveillance. Accused was presently residing at Brgy Catan-agan, Tarangnan, Samar and a native of Brgy Bulao, San Jorge, Samar where the incident transpired.

“He is a suspect in the brutal killing of his neighbor Rolando Nuñez, also known as Kanor, on March 24, 2011 and went into hiding after the perpetration of the incident”, Soria informed.

The RSOG was clothed with an arrest warrant for murder docketed under criminal case number 11-0513 issued by Hon Judge Feleciano P. Aguilar of Regional Trial Court, Branch 41 in Gandara, Samar.

Meanwhile, Negradas was also collared by RSOG in Brgy. San Juan, Sta. Fe, Leyte after a brief chase by authorities.

The police team led by SPO4 Ananias Monteroso arrested him by virtue of an Order of Arrest issued last November 9, 2012 by Judge Lauro A.P. Castillo Jr. of RTC Branch 8, Tacloban City for Frustrated Parricide under Criminal Case No. 2012-02-122, with P200,000.00 recommended bail bond.

As this developed, Soria renewed his call to the public to report the presence of wanted persons in their neighborhood.
