Police Officer 3 Arnel Oares and PO1s Jeremias Pereda and Jerwin Cruz were found guilty of killing 17-year-old Kian Lloyd delos Santos during an anti-narcotics sweep in Baesa, Caloocan City on Aug. 16, 2017. “I feel so happy because this proves that my son was innocent and was never involved in drugs,” Delos Santos’ mother Lorenza told reporters. However, security video footage showed two of the policemen dragging the unarmed Delos Santos moments before he was shot dead in a pig pen. Caloocan policemen were also involved in the killing of 19-year-old Carl Angelo Arnaiz and 14-year-old Reynaldo “Kulot” de Guzman. Prosecutors said Arnaiz was executed in a similar style on Aug. 18, 2017, two days after Delos Santos was killed.
