A former regional director of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency was arrested for allegedly “supervising” the murder of a lawyer in Cebu City last November 2020.
National Bureau of Investigation-7 Regional Director Renan Oliva said on Monday’s briefing that they have arrested retired Army Col. Edwin Layese on January 12 over the death of lawyer Joey Luis Wee who was gunned down near his office,
Oliva said Layese was not the mastermind, but did the planning and execution of the killing.
“We have documentary, electronic and testimonial evidence to show that Edwin Layese was involved not just a participant but a supervisor in the killing of Wee,” Oliva explained.
He added that Layese may also be involved in the ambush of another lawyer last October.
“We have arrested him in connection of the murder of Joey Wee and in the frustrated murder of James Gupana,” said Oliva.
