Philippine National Police (PNP) chief General Guillermo Eleazar vowed on Tuesday to personally monitor the legal proceedings against a police sergeant behind the cold-blooded killing of a woman in Quezon City.
Eleazar said he had already instructed both Quezon City Police District Director Police Brig. Gen. Antonio Yarra and Internal Affairs Service Inspector General Alfegar Triambulo to expedite the conduct of investigation against Police Master Sergeant Hensie Zinampan, previously assigned to the Police Security Protection Group (PSPG).
“What this cop has done is horrendous and acceptable. Policemen are supposed to protect and defend our countrymen instead of doing criminal acts against them,” said Eleazar who went to the Quezon City Police District Headquarters at Camp Karingal on Tuesday morning to confront Zinampan.
