The National Bureau of Investigation informant implicated in the kidnapping for ransom and killing of a South Korean businessman has surfaced and vowed to tell all.
Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II said on Sunday that Jerry Omlang sought NBI protection on Saturday and pointed to Supt. Rafael Dumlao and SPO3 Ricky Sta. Isabel as those behind the kidnapping and killing of Jee Ick-joo in October last year.
Dumlao is the chief of the Philippine National Police Anti-Illegal Drugs Group, where Sta. Isabel is assigned.
Omlang is the \u201calias Jerry\u201d mentioned in the charge sheet filed by the Department of Justice in a Pampanga court last week against Sta. Isabel and several others over Jee\u2019s killing.
Aguirre said Omlang also \u201cadmitted taking part in the abduction,\u201d saying he was one of the two men who withdrew cash from Jee\u2019s ATM account.
The other man was identified only as \u201calias Utol,\u201d Aguirre said.
\u201cJerry added that Dumlao ordered him to bring Jee\u2019s car to Araneta [to be chopped up],\u201d he said.
Aguirre said Omlang \u201cdivulged so many details,\u201d including Sta. Isabel being \u201cpart of the abduction.\u201d
\u201cJerry will issue an extrajudicial affidavit. Let\u2019s wait for that. The Public Attorney\u2019s Office will assist him,\u201d he said. But Omlang remains a suspect, Aguirre said.
Supt. Dennis Wagas, a lawyer with the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group, said Omlang used to work for Dumlao and his family.
\u201cWhat we know is, Jerry is the driver of Dumlao\u2019s wife,\u201d Wagas told the Inquirer.<\/p>\n
