An alleged mastermind in the killing of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo has been arrested by the National Bureau of Investigation, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla announced Friday.“The NBI was able to catch a main player, a main player. A name we have not discussed, we have never discussed here. But practically, I would say in my reading of the situation one of the masterminds was caught today,” Remulla said in an ambush interview.
The Justice secretary said this was the individual authorities were looking for right from the start after he figured in the statements of other suspects in custody. “That’s why we’re not leaping to any conclusions now. But we know that we have caught the right people already, the people that have to be caught, that we were wishing would get caught, or the person that we wanted to get caught,” Remulla said.When asked how suspended Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves fits into everything, Remulla said Teves fit "right in there.”GMA News Online has sought comment from the Teves' camp but has yet to receive a response as of posting time.
In his waiver, Pryde Henry waived his rights over his secrecy of bank deposits and communication logs. Teves is being linked to the crime after suspects in the killing pointed to a certain “Cong. Teves” as the one who ordered the hit.
