CA: Ex-cop masterminded Korean businessman's slay

The CA sentenced Dumlao to a life term without parole and ordered him to pay P350,000 in damages for the charge of kidnapping with homicide and P225,000 in damages for kidnapping and serious illegal detention, according to a statement by the Supreme Court issued yesterday afternoon.

Dumlao was also sentenced to another 35 years for carjacking.

The decision was penned by CA 13th Division Associate Justice Carlito Calpatura, who granted a petition filed by government prosecutors to nullify the 2023 decision of Pampanga Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 60 Judge Eda Dizon acquitting Dumlao, a former official of the defunct Philippine National Police Anti-Illegal Drugs Group (PNP-AIDG).

One-sided information

For a marriage to be declared null and void on the ground of psychological incapacity, the incapacity must be rooted on some debilitating psychological or mental condition or illness and not on mere difficulty, refusal or neglect in the performance of marital obligations. This is once more illustrated in this case of Garry and Brenda.
