Another suspect in slay of 2 nursing graduates, 1 nursing student in Caloocan surrenders

Another suspect in the killing of two nursing graduates and one nursing student in Caloocan City surrendered to the Quezon City Police District Station 6 on Thursday.

QCPD chief Police Brigadier General Ronnie Montejo identified the suspect as 38-year-old Ronald Cajepe, a construction worker. Montejo said Cajepe surrendered to Police Major Sandie Caparroso, deputy station commander of Station 6 at 12:10 p.m.

Montejo said the suspect had confessed his participation in killing the three victims in a subdivision in North Caloocan last month. Cajepe was bothered by his conscience so he chose to surrender to authorities.

He was quoted saying, "Akala ko ay magnanakaw lang kami ng mga kasamahan ko pero dahil nakilala sila ng mga biktima ay pinatay nila 'yung tatlo."

Cajepe was turned over to the Caloocan City Police Station for proper disposition.

Victims Glydl Belonio, Arjay Belencio, and Mona Habibolla were stabbed to death inside a house being constructed in Amparo Subdivision.

On Tuesday, Anselmo Singkol, who was earlier considered to be a person of interest in the crime, had also surrendered to the police.

He admitted that he was one of those who had planned the crime but he denied that he was one of those who killed the victims.

Caloocan Police chief Police Colonel Dario Menor said Singkol was pointing to Cajepe as the one responsible for the slay.

In a Super Radyo dzBB report by Glen Juego, Cajepe denied Singkol's allegation.

"Bale nakita ko po sa balita 'yung pangalan ko na ako po 'yung dinidiin niya, na ako po 'yung gumawa ng pagpatay sa mga nursing students eh di naman po ako gumawa noon," Cajepe said.

"Ang intensyon ko lang po sumama sa kaniya na para po magnakaw lang pero hindi ko po akalain na ganoon po gagawin niya kaagad na patayin agad 'yung mga tao na nandoon para pagnakawan 'yung bahay," he added.

Cajepe said Singkol even asked him to stab the victims but he said he was in shock of what happened. He also mentioned that Singkol had planned the crime for a long time.

"Nandoon din po ako sa harap mismo, inaano pa nga niya akong sumaksak din sa mga babae na naghihingalo na... gusto niya sumaksak rin ako pero nashock din po ako sa nangyari, hindi po ako nakagalaw. Hindi ko po akalain na ganoon ang gagawin niya," he said.

He admitted that he is using illegal drugs but on the day of the incident, he was not under the influence of narcotics.

"Opo gumamit po ko pero noong araw na po 'yun di po ko gumamit. Uminom lang po ko noon araw na 'yun," Cajepe said.—AOL, GMA News
