WALANG kaugnayan sa multiple murder cases na kinakaharap sa 2023 Pamplona massacre ang pagkaka-abswelto ni dating Negros Oriental congressman Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr. sa murder case noong 2019 sa Du-maguete City, ayon sa pamilya ni dating Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo.
“We clarify that the recent news about the acquittal of former Representative Arnolfo Teves Jr. refers to a separate 2019 murder case in Dumaguete City and has no connection whatsoever to the multiple murder cases arising from the Pamplona, Negros Oriental massacre on March 4, 2023, where Governor Roel Degamo and several others were killed,” saad sa paha-yag ni Negros Oriental Representative Janice Degamo at ng kanyang pamilya.
Iginiit ni Degamo na ang multiple murder cases ni Teves kaugnay sa Pamplona massacre “remain pending and actively prosecuted” sa isa pang korte sa Manila.
“The decision of acquittal issued by the Regional Trial Court of Manila, Branch 15, does not absolve Mr. Teves of responsibility for those crimes,” dagdag pa.
Nanawagan si Degamo sa publiko na manatiling mapagmatyag at umasa sa accurate na pag-uulat.
“Our family remains committed to pursuing justice for Governor Degamo and all the other victims,” aniya.
Sa 35 pahinang desisyon dated Enero 5, 2026, sinabi ni Manila Regional Trial Court-Branch 15 Presiding Judge Eduardo Ramon Reyes na sina Teves, Richard Cuadra, at Rolando Pinili ay ina-bswelto sa krimen na isinampa laban sa kanilzzza “for failure of the prosecution to establish a prima facie case.”
Ang ‘demurrers to evidence’ na inihain ni Teves at dalawa iba pa ay ipinagkaloob.
Ani Degamo, ang acquittal ni Teves ay “painful and difficult to accept.”
Bukod sa kasong ito, si Teves ay nahaharap sa reklamong murder, attempted murder, at frustrated murder sa pagpatay sa dating gobernador na si Degamo at iba pa noong Marso 4, 2023 sa tirahan nito sa Pamplona, Negros Oriental.
