Personal grudge eyed in graft prober’s slay
Dojillo was the son of retired Olongapo City Judge Jaime Dojillo and brother of Manaoag Judge Jaime Dojillo Jr.
SAN FABIAN, Pangasinan – Police suspect that a personal grudge motivated the gunslaying of a graft investigator of the Office of the Ombudsman here before dawn Monday.
Senior Superintendent Isagani Nerez, provincial police director, said investigators were pursuing good leads in the killing of lawyer Alejo Dojillo, 43.
Dojillo, a resident of Barangay Nibaliw Vidal here, was en route to the Five Star bus station on board a tricycle at around 2:30 a.m. to catch the first trip to Manila when two motorcycle-riding men shot him.
He was hit five times in the back. Police found seven empty shells and four deformed slugs from a caliber .45 pistol at the crime scene.
Nerez said politics is out of the picture even if Dojillo’s younger brother plans to run for barangay captain in October.
Dojillo was the son of retired Olongapo City Judge Jaime Dojillo and brother of Manaoag Judge Jaime Dojillo Jr.
Nerez said a special police task force probing Dojillo’s killing was also looking into cases which the graft investigator was handling.
Dojillo’s wife, Maricar, said she is leaving it up to God to mete justice to her husband’s killers.
“Vengeance is mine, says the Lord,” she said, describing her husband as a good family man and generous to other people.
She said she does not believe that the killing was work-related because her husband was happy with his work.
“It was more on (the) personal aspect,” she said, but refused to elaborate.
Mrs. Dojillo recalled that the night before her husband was killed, he cooked for his children – Ailce, 20; Jaela, 19; and Lex, 15 – and bought several fruits for their dinner as he normally did in the past.
“But what was extraordinary was he sang and danced with gusto as if it was his last show,” Ailce recounted.
Chief Superintendent Leopoldo Bataoil, regional police director, said he expects Task Force Dojillo to give him a good update on its investigation as soon as possible. By EVA VISPERAS - The Philippine Star With Myds Supnad
