CEBU CITY, Philippines — Authorities have arrested the reputed “sidekick” of the still at large Kerwin Espinosa — alleged big time drug lord of Central Visayas.
The suspect has been identified as Roderick Palermo Espina,54, of Maasin Southern Leyte.
Based on information received by Camp Crame, Espina had been living in a pension house for six months at Brgy. Lorega in Cebu City. Suspicions arose when the owners noticed that Espina had never allowed the staff to clean his room.
That was when police were alerted and authorities promptly checked-in in the next room to monitor his movements.
This morning, region 7 police finally burst into Espina’s room after pretending to deliver room service.
The suspect was found in possession of two firearms, an unidentified volume of suspected shabu and marijuana, as well as equipment used for the production of shabu.
Aside from Espina’s admission of his acquaintance with Kerwin Espinosa, authorities have yet to extract further information from him. (LEA YLAGAN / UNTV News and Rescue)
