Strike 2 for 'wanted' ex-brgy tanod commander on rape, attempted rape charges
A 42 year-old former commander of the Civilian Volunteers Organization (CVO) charged and wanted for raping a 14 year-old girl was finally arrested on yet another similar attempt to a 17 year-old student in his wife's hometown in Negros Occidental.
The suspect, 42 year-old Dionisio dela Peña Alombra of Barangay Cahaguicguican, Pototan, Iloilo was collared by operatives of the Bago City Police Office following an October 10th report of his alleged latest victim, a 4th year high-school student in the area.
Reportedly a daughter of his wife's cousin, the victim told police she was dragged by the suspect towards the sugar plantation on her way to school. She managed to fight back her attacker and immediately sought the help of family members. Authorities were called in with the arrest done thereafter.
With Alombra's capture came the information of a standing arrest warrant on the case of a 14 year-old girl back in Pototan, Iloilo. SPO4 Dioniso Rebiza, Pototan Police Chief told Bombo Radyo it was his office which faxed a copy of the arrest warrant to Bago City Police Office.
The 42 year-old ex-CVO commander will face the rape charges following his remittance to the local court of origin over the weekend as yet new complaint was lodged in Bago City.
