PNP: Cop under restrictive custody amid raps over jeepney driver slay

A Philippine National Police (PNP) officer has been placed under restrictive custody following allegations that he was involved in the killing of a jeepney driver. The incident occurred in Muntinlupa City, and the officer, who is a police executive master sergeant assigned to the Internal Affairs Service–National Capital Region (IAS-NCR), is facing both criminal and administrative complaints. The jeepney driver's family accused the officer of orchestrating the killing after the victim refused to pay 'butaw,' which refers to illegal collections. The PNP stated that the officer has been disarmed and is currently under custody at the IAS-NCR. Additionally, the officer faces a criminal complaint before the Muntinlupa City Prosecutor's Office. The PNP has initiated its own preliminary investigation but has committed to cooperating with the National Police Commission (Napolcom), which is handling the administrative case independently.
