Two former Philippine police officers accused in a politically motivated double homicide have been arrested in the United States, including one in Pembroke Pines, authorities in New York and Miami said Friday.
Philippine authorities have charged Glenn Dumlao and Cesar Mancao with being among as many as 10 officers who carried out the kidnapping and slaying of Salvador "Bubby" Dacer, a publicist who represented top political figures. Dacer and his driver, Emmanuel Corbito, were snatched from a Manila street in 2000. They were found strangled.
Dumlao, 45, was arrested by U.S. immigration agents on Thursday outside his apartment in Patchogue, a Long Island village.
Mancao, 47, was arrested Thursday in Pembroke Pines, according to a statement by the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. A magistrate ordered him held without bail.
