A report by PhilStar stated that Gabriell Caclag, the spokesperson of BuCor, confirmed the death of the ex-policeman.
As per the said report, he was found to be unconscious by his own cell mates on the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 30.
The information from BuCor also stated that the convict was walking outside his dorm when he collapsed and at 6:44 p.m., he was already pronounced dead.
There would also be an investigation to determine if foul play was involved, said Chaclag.
Manila Bulletin reported that he died in the Bilibid.
According to ABS-CBN, Nuezca was found guilty of murder and he was sentenced to reclusion perpetua.
He was found to be guilty "beyond reasonable doubt" for two counts of murder.
A video showed that Nuezca shot Sonia Gregorio and her son in Paniqui, Tarlac.
Sen. Bato dela Rosa was interviewed by ANC regarding the current crisis faced by PNP. The senator said that he initially did not want heinous crimes, like murder, in the provision for the death penalty, but the Paniqui shooting incident changed his perception. According to him, crimes committed by abusive cops should be considered for the death penalty. He is also convinced that Jonel Nuezca deserves to be punished with the death penalty.
Neil Perez expressed his support for the Philippine National Police on social media. He posted an art card with a message that not all cops killed the Gregorio victims. The netizens found his post insensitive and bashed the pageant titleholder. Comments on his post involved telling Neil to admit that police brutality exists.
Jonel Nuezca was described by Sonia Gregorio’s husband as an arrogant neighbor. The barangay captain revealed that the two families were in constant conflict. She added that the problem started when the Nuezcas bought a piece of land from the Gregorios and they accused the latter of scamming them. It was brought to court and, in the end, the Gregorios won the case against the Nuezcas.
