AFFIDAVIT OF ARREST

I, PCpl Norberto S. Dela Cruz, of legal age, bonafide member of the


Philippine National Police and presently assigned with Manila Police
Department Police Station-2 after having been duly sworn to in
accordance with law, hereby depose and declare the following:

That I am the police officer tasked to patrol in the area of Bagong


Bayan Street in Tondo, Manila.

That on June 12, 2019 at around eight o’clock in the evening, I was
with Ms. Anna Santos, the niece of the victim and I accompanied her
home coming from a birthday party. I was off-duty at that time from my
work. Ms. Anna noticed that the front door of their house is not locked.

That when Ms. Anna A. Santos opened their front door, we saw the
victim, her aunt, Teodora Santos, who appeared to be stabbed in the
chest and arms, lying on the floor while the accused is holding a knife.

That the accused hurriedly ran towards the broken glass window
in the kitchen which I noticed when I followed him in his attempt of
escaping. I was able stop him and put him down towards the ground.

Thereafter, I confiscated from him the knife that he used to stab


the victim and effected a warrantless arrest and stated to him his
constitutional rights. Upon inquiry on his identity, said person revealed
his name as Rodolfo B. Perez, 19 years old, single and a resident of
Barangay Bagong Bato Tondo Manila.
After duly marking the confiscated knife, I brought said Rodolfo B.
Perez to the Police station of Tondo Manila. Pieces of jewelry and money
amounting to twenty thousand pesos were also retrieved from him.
That this affidavit is executed to attest to the truth of all the
foregoing and to support the filing of a formal charge/s in court against
said person.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereunto set my hands this 13th day of
June 2019 at Tondo Manila, Philippines.

(Sgd.) Norberto S. Dela Cruz
