Cop charged with stealing, killing bomb-sniffing dog
By Raquel C. Bagnol
FOR allegedly stealing, killing and eating a bomb-sniffing dog owned by another police officer at the Police Regional Office (PRO) 11 compound last year, a policeman has been slapped with two criminal cases before the City Prosecutor's Office (CPO).
The complaint was filed by Goldie Delvo, wife of Major Alden Delvo of the same office.
In her affidavit, Delvo alleged that SPO2 Remberto Orencia stole, killed and ate her four-year-old Labrador named Kobe.
Delvo said that her Labrador, which cost her P15,000 had undergone a six-month training course with the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (Satu) for bomb sniffing prior to its death.
She said Kobe even participated in various police operations to discover hidden bombs and other explosives.
Delvo said her neighbors informed her that Orencia allegedly hit Kobe with a piece of wood and slashed its neck with a knife.
She was also informed that Orencia allegedly cooked the dog and ate it afterwards.
Delvo said that when her husband confronted Orencia, the later reasoned out that he killed the dog in compliance with the order of the PRO head to kill all stray dogs in the vicinity.
