AN OLONGAPO City court has ordered the arrest of Alan Dennis L. Sytin and another individual for the murder of businessman Dominic L. Sytin in November last year. In the warrant of arrest dated July 29, Judge Richard A Paradeza ordered the arrest of Mr. Sytin, brother of the slain businessman, and Ryan D. Rementilla. No bail was recommended. The Department of Justice indicted the two for the murder that took place outside the Lighthouse Hotel at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone on Nov. 28, 2018. They are also charged of frustrated murder for wounding Mr. Sytin’s body guard. Fellow accused Edgardo P. Luib, the alleged hit man, was arrested by the Philippine National Police last March. Mr. Luib tagged Mr. Sytin as the alleged mastermind in the killing of his brother, who was the chief executive officer of United Auctioneers, Inc., chairman of Foton Philippines, and director and chairman of the board of listed LMG Chemicals Corp. In a statement, Mr. Sytin said he will file a petition for review before the Justice secretary to seek the reversal of the prosecutor’s resolution. “I am determined to immediately set aside the false and baseless charges against me as it is my right and the right of the ‘clearly innocent’ to be free from the trouble, expense and anxiety of a protracted trial.” — Vann Marlo M.
