MANILA: The Quezon City police have filed murder charges against a car agent, her husband, and their helper for allegedly killing Police Senior Master Sgt Diane Marie Mollenido and her son, 8-year-old John Ysmael, over a car deal scam.

“The suspects, identified as Christian [Panganiban], Pia Katrina [Panganiban], and Gil [Dy Jr.], have been formally charged with two counts of murder, with no bail recommended, after the investigating prosecutor [found] prima facie evidence with a reasonable certainty of conviction against them,” the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) said in a statement on Tuesday.
