Police dismisses from the service a police doctor who killed and hurt colleagues last year in Camp Crame

A police doctor was dismissed from the service over the assault he made against his superior and colleagues with the Philippine National Police (PNP) Health Service during an official affair inside Camp Crame late last year.

Director Geary Barias of the PNP Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management (DIDM) yesterday said that Chief Insp. Renato Poscablo was dismissed from the service effective June 1, 2007 after he was found guilty of grave misconduct by a PNP internal investigating body.

Poscablo shot before midnight last November 29, 2006 Chief Supt. Federico Damatac, chief of the PNP Health Service, and hurt three other policeman and a waiter after releasing a grenade.

Poscablo himself was wounded while Damatac survived the attack.

Killed was Sr. Insp. Wenefredo Temprosa, an aide-de-camp of Damatac, who shielded the grenade using his body to cushion the impact of the blast.

Charges of murder, frustrated murder and attempted murder were filed against Poscablo before the Quezon City court over the incident.

Poscablo has since been detained at the Quezon City Jail after he was placed on hospital arrest immediately after the incident.

“All benefits due him are also deemed forfeited,” Barias said of Poscablo.

Police said Poscablo holds a personal and professional grudge against Damatac because the latter sanctioned his previous demotion due to the various administrative charges he is facing./DMS
