2. On November 21, 2023 at 10:30 AM, I was tasked to act as team leader to arrest
suspect, Winston Viernez in relation to Rape with Homicide Case of Princess Dela
Merced, which transpired at 10:05 AM, same date at 114 Legarda, Sampaloc,
Manila;
3. Based on the information provided by Aurelia Dela Merced (complainant) that her
live-in partner can be located at his brother’s residence at Alegeria Street corner

PCpl Jomer Zaro and PCpl Mero Lazaro-driver and accompanied by witness,
Marites Chicadora;
4. Upon arrival at Alegeria Street infront of 7/11 store, I activated the body worn
camera with serial number ABC12345 attached to my chest to start the recording
of the entire procedure. Witness, Marites Chicadora spotted the said suspect in
front of Mayaman Sari-sari Store wearing blue t-shirt and maong pants near his
brother’s residence;
5. I thereupon approached him and asked him if he is Winston Viernez which the
latter said yes;
6. There and then, we effected his arrest and informed him of the offense being
imputed upon him and apprised him of his constitutional rights as provided for
under the Miranda Doctrine in Tagalog known, understood and spoken by him. I
also informed him that the entire procedure is being recorded using a body worn
camera as required under AM No. 21-06-08-SC;
7. During the arrest, suspect peacefully submitted himself to the arresting team and
did not exhibit any untoward reaction; hence, the arrest was peacefully conducted;
9. Upon arrival at the station, I PEMS Cutie Pie Pabebe turned over the body-worn
camera to PSSg Rian Ramos, the designated Data Custodian, who then acquired
possession of the recordings;
10. Thereafter, PSSg Rian Ramos downloaded the video clips or data on a rewritable
CD in the presence of the suspect. After which, placed it in an envelope, sealed,
and signed by the undersigned and countersigned by the Data Custodian for safe
keeping;
21
11. In the process, neither I nor anybody else made any effort to tamper with or alter
the contents therein, and that the data stored was a true and faithful reproduction
of the procedures transpired during arrest;
12. I am executing this affidavit to attest to the truthfulness of the foregoing facts and

Based on the statement of the witness, Marites Chicadora, while
on her way home, she saw Winston Viernez, rushing away from the crime
scene wearing white t-shirt stained with blood;
PCpl Jer Laza together with PCpl Mero Lazaro, conducted thorough
body search while PCpl Jerome Lazaro recited to him his constitutional rights
as provided for under the Miranda Doctrine in Tagalog known, understood, and
spoken by him;
I. DISCUSSION:
24
with the result of the DNA examination issued by the MPD Forensic Unit, which
indicated the presence of the suspect’s DNA in the seminal fluid recovered from
the victim’s vagina. Consistently, the result of the autopsy issued by the MPD
Forensic Unit indicates that the cause of death was due to loss of blood.
Further, the result of the fingerprint examination matches the suspect’s
fingerprint, which revealed his presence at the crime scene. The presence of a
kitchen knife with yellow plastic handle (10 inches in length) with markings
JL-10 recovered from the crime scene points to the fact that it was the weapon
he used in stabbing the victim on her lower abdomen to prevent the latter from
testifying against him hence conceal his crime;
