A former anti-narcotics operative accused of kidnapping for ransom with homicide for the death of Korean businessman Jee Ick Joo asked the Angeles City Pampanga Regional Trial Court Branch 58 to allow his temporary liberty. In his three-page petition for bail made public Monday, Superintendent Rafael Dumlao III urged the court that he be allowed to post bail for his temporary liberty. ADVERTISEMENT“In view of the foregoing and in the interest of justice, it is respectfully prayed unto this Honorable Court to admit accused PSupt. Rafael P. Dumlao III to bail at such amount that the Honorable Court may fix,” Moldez II Aldave, Dumlao’s counsel, said in a statement. All the accused have been arraigned and pleaded not guilty to the crime of kidnapping for ransom with homicide.
