TACLOBAN CITY—The Provincial Prosecutor here has ordered the filing of information against incumbent Leyte Board member and Carigara mayoralty candidate Anlie Go Apostol and three others for the murder of a Barugo, Leyte resident.
The Office of the Provincial Prosecutor found merit in the complaint filed by Arlene Camayo vda de Mesias implicating Apostol for the murder of her husband Dennis Mesias in 2012.
In a resolution dated April 29, 2016, provincial prosecutor Ma. Arlene Huñamayor–Cordovez charged with murder suspects Anlie Apostol, Vilma Pascual Obaob, Alfredo ‘Pidong’ Obaob, and Emmanuel ‘Jojo’ Santos. No bail was recommended for the provisional liberty of the four accused.
The arrested gunman, Alex Tremedal, earlier executed an extrajudicial confession before police investigators pointing to Board Member Apostol and live–in partner Vilma Pascual Obaob as the masterminds with motive behind the killing of Mesias.
The prosecutor’s resolution pointed to narrative and other evidence outside of Tremedal’s extrajudicial confession that were ‘sufficient to establish probable cause’ against Apostol and her other co-accused.
Suspect Leyte board member Anlie Apostol is the daughter of 2nd District Congressman Sergio Apostol and former Leyte vice governor Trinidad Go Apostol. She was a former mayor of Carigara town before she became a Leyte board member.
