ILOILO CITY — A father and son wanted for murder in Laua-an, Antique were arrested by police in Rizal.
The Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) identified the suspects as Nestor Aretaño and his son Renier Aretaño.
The 64-year-old father and 34-year-old son were arrested in Barangay Mahabang Parang, Angono Tuesday.
The duo was arrested by several PNP units -- Laua-an Municipal Police Station, Antique Maritime Police Station, Intelligence Unit of the Antique Police Provincial Office, 2nd Antique Provincial Mobile Force Company, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG-Antique), Provincial Intelligence Team Antique under the PRO-6 Regional Intelligence Unit, and the Anti-Kidnapping Group in Camp Crame, Quezon City.
