LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – Police arrested a laborer wanted for rape and listed as the most wanted person in San Gabriel, La Union on Sunday, Sept. 25.
Col. Damian Olsim, Benguet police chief, identified the suspect as Sacpa Gum-oyen, 37.
Olsim said the suspect was arrested in his house in Sitio Cudalap, Barangay Bayabas at around 9:30 p.m. by the Benguet 1st Provincial Mobile Force Company on a warrant issued by Judge Rhea Sernadilla Gallevo of the Family Court Branch 10, First Judicial Region, San Fernando City, La Union.
