JUSTICE has been served after three years to a grieving family.
Police Region Office – 1 information chief and Superitendent Mary Crystal Peralta confirmed the arrest of Marites Judan, prime suspect in the murder of 15 – year - old Allery Wagayen in May 2016.
Peralta told Sun.Star Baguio, Judan was arrested at Dampay Street, Alaminos City in Pangasinan on February 6 by PNP intelligence group in coordination with
Alaminos police.
The police official said Judan has three pending warrants of arrest: in Baguio City for the robbery-homicide of Wagayan, an adultery and theft case in Balaon and San Fernando City in La Union.
Peralta appealed to other victims of Judan to come forward and coordinate with the police as more cases of qualified theft in Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur and Bangar in La union are expected to surface.
Peralta said Judan goes by many aliases and has perfected the modus of posing as a house helper and eventually robbing and harming the unsuspecting family.
In Baguio City, Judan is primary suspect in the killing of the 15-year-old girl inside their home at Pinsao.
The murder enraged the city for its brazeness with an outpour of support going out to the family.
The lifeless body of Allery was found lying in a pool of blood with 13 stab wounds inside their bathroom.
Roger and Arnold, the relatives who found Allery's body said they arrived home from delivering water to their customers when they were met by Judan at the parking area.
Based on their accounts, Judan was holding a blue bag and hurriedly asked them to bring her to the market for her to be able to get her salary from the victim’s mother.
Both men allowed Judan to ride inside their van but when they were nearing Naguillian Road, Judan suddenly requested to go down and proceed to the market by herself, to which both conceded.
The two men went home, only to find the lifeless body of Allery.
Peralta said among the aliases of Judan are Marites Rilloraza, Florence Macalay, Marites de Guzman, Brenda Mendoza and Brenda Ducusin.
