THE chief of police of San Jose Del Monte City (SJDM) assured that construction worker Carmelino Ibañes, the arrested Bulacan massacre suspect, will be safe while under detention. Fitz Macariola, said in the wake of speculations on Ibañes’ safety after the deaths of three “persons of interest” (POI) believed to be victims of vigilante-style killings. Ibañes is locked up at the SJDM detention cell with about 70 other inmates, most of them with drug cases. Romeo Caramat, said they do not and will not tolerate the extra-judicial killings of alias “Inggo,” “Ponga” and “Tony”. He said the PNP is exerting its best efforts to establish an airtight case against Ibañes and four other POIs to assuage the victim’s family and the angry community.
