Police file murder charges against Mollenido ‘killers’

Title Justice Served Police File Murder Charges Against Suspects in Brutal Killing of Mollenido Family

The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) has taken a critical step towards bringing justice to the family of Police Senior Master Sergeant (PSMS) Diane Marie Mollenido and her 8-year-old son by filing two counts of murder against the suspects involved in their tragic killing.

During a press conference, QCPD Director BGen. Randy Glenn Silvio announced that the case was filed after the Special Investigation Task Group concluded its thorough investigation into the heinous crime. The suspects, identified as Pia Chua Panganiban, 29, Christian Suarez Panganiban (a dismissed lawman), and Gil Valdemoro Dy Jr., have been formally charged with two counts of murder, with no bail recommended.

The investigation revealed that Mollenido's godchild, Pia, was involved in the crime, along with her brother Christian and their cohort Gil. The police earlier cleared Christian's sister, Maribel, who is now serving as a witness in the case. Additionally, charges against Mollenido's husband, PSMS John Mollenido, have been dropped.

The brutal murder of Mollenido and her young son shocked the nation, with the 38-year-old victim reported missing along with her 8-year-old son on January 16. Their bodies were later found in separate locations - Mollenido's in Pulilan, Bulacan, and her son's in Victoria, Tarlac.

The QCPD Director emphasized the police's commitment to bringing justice to the victims and their family, stating, We are deeply committed to bringing justice to PSMS Diane Marie Mollenido and her young son, John Ysmael. While their loss is irreplaceable, we will continue to ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
