Here’s the latest update on the case of Catherine Camilon
CATHERINE CAMILON – Four suspects linked to the disappearance of the beauty queen are facing charges of kidnapping and serious illegal detention.
Camilon, a 26-year-old candidate for Miss Grand Philippines 2023 and a teacher, has been missing since October 12. She was last seen at a mall in Lemery, Batangas.
Two persons of interest have emerged in connection with Camilon’s disappearance. The first is a police officer who is reported to have had a romantic relationship with her. The other is the owner of the vehicle she was driving on the day she went missing.
The policeman has been temporarily relieved from duty pending the results of the investigation. Simultaneously, the former owner of Camilon’s vehicle, suspected of involvement in a carnapping group due to using a fake address on the car’s deed of sale, is facing carnapping and estafa complaints.
Two witnesses claimed to have seen Catherine Camilon bloodied, being transferred from her car to another vehicle on October 12. They also reported that one of the persons of interest pointed a gun at them, identified as the personal driver of another person of interest.
On Friday, an SUV, potentially linked to the disappearance of the beauty queen, was found in Barangay Dumuclay, Batangas City. According to CIDG 4A chief Police Colonel Jacinto Malinao Jr., witnesses stated that the vehicle had been abandoned in the area since Thursday. The SUV has been transported to the Batangas Provincial Police Office for forensic examinations.
Malinao informed the press that they are awaiting results from the SOCO team to determine if there is any biological trace evidence, such as hair or blood, in the vehicle. Meanwhile, based on the report of GMA News, kidnapping and serious illegal detention complaints have been filed against four suspects linked to the disappearance of beauty queen Catherine Camilon.
