Remaining Suspect in Catmon Police Chief’s Slay Urged to Surrender

A ranking official of the Police Regional Office (PRO) 7 on Tuesday called on Jaime Jayson, one of the suspects in the killing of Catmon Police Station chief Senior Inspector Alejandro Nuñez to surrender.

Senior Superintendent Rey Lyndon Lawas, PRO 7 deputy regional director for operations, said Jaime Jayson remains at large and is being aggressively pursued by policemen under PRO 7 director Chief Supt. Noli Taliño’s order.

Taliño also said Jaime Jayson has taken the service firearm of Nuñez, which makes Jayson armed and dangerous and is now “wanted, dead or alive.”

Jaime Jayson is the youngest of the five Jayson brothers who Nuñez was trying to pacify and instead got killed on December 24 in Carmen, north of Cebu.

“We would like to appeal to him to surrender so that he can also air his side,” Lawas said.

Jaime’s brothers Carlito, Kardo and Camilo were killed on December 24.

Carlito was killed by Nuñez while Kardo and Camilo were killed by responding policemen.

His other brother Carlo was arrested and is currently detained at Carmen Police Station. (PNA) LAP/EB/EDS
