Update:

 

We found out today that Jeffery Parian has been transferred to the Surigao Silop prison facility were Jerome Devocion is being held. They are being kept separate in the prison facility. Johnny Parian is still at large but it will probably only be a matter of time before he will be sharing a roof with Jerome Devocion and brother Jeffery Parian. The Philippine authority is still waiting for the final results of the Canadian authority's handling of the arrest warrant given to INTERPOL's Camp Crome, Manila office well over two months ago, and as of today they have yet received conformation that Ottawa, Canada has received the arrest warrant issued by the Surigao City courts from any Canadian authority. Once the arrest warrant has been formally severed by the appropriate Canadian authority on Jane Doyle (suspected mastermind) then the Surigao City courts can finally move forward to the next stage of the process.

So as it stands today we have two suspects down, one hiding in fear of capture, and one planning for a nice quite x-mas holiday in Canada.

FEDS, PROVINCE AT ODDS OVER MURDER CASE RESPONSIBILITY
LAVERNE STEWART THE DAILY GLEANER 20 NOV 2013 11:46PM

 

The provincial and federal justice departments appear to be at odds over who’s responsible for dealing with the arrest of a murder victim’s widow.

An arrest warrant for Jane Doyle, the widow of former Fredericton businessman Harry Doyle, was issued by the Philippine National Police three months ago. But the arrest warrant has yet to be served. Family and friends of Harry Doyle are frustrated over the delays in the case. They’ve been waiting for police to take Jane Doyle into custody and then for the federal government to extradite her to the Philippines to answer to the charge against her in connection with her husband’s death. She’s lived in Fredericton since she returned to the city from the Philippines shortly after Doyle was shot to death on a beach at a family barbecue on Aug. 12, 2012.

Bonnie Clark Douglass, a longtime friend of Harry Doyle, has been lobbying both the federal and provincial governments to take action on the matter. She was informed by a representative of the federal Justice minister and attorney general that it was up to the province. In the letter Douglass received from J. Bisson, manager of ministerial correspondence with the federal Justice Department, said the administration of justice, including the prosecution of Criminal Code offences, is the responsibility of the provincial governments. She was told to address the matter with the provincial minister of Justice and attorney general.

Douglass wrote to New Brunswick Justice Minister Troy Lifford on Nov. 8 asking for his help. She’s received no reply. On Wednesday, the province’s deputy Justice Minister Guy Daigle told The Daily Gleaner the province isn’t involved in the case. “I believe there is some miscommunication because these are international matters and they’re dealt with through the international assistance group of the federal Department of Justice. This is not a matter for the provincial Department of Justice nor the (Office of the Attorney General). It is a federal matter because it deals with extradition proceedings.” Daigle said the Philippine government would have to ask the federal government to extradite Jane Doyle after it’s received an arrest warrant for her from the Philippines. “If there are valid warrants that have been issued, why has the Philippine government not contacted the international assistance group? To me there are pieces missing there. Before the province gets involved we have to have a request by the federal government and this hasn’t occurred to my knowledge,” he said.

One of the main witnesses for the prosecution, James Musslewhite, said the arrest warrant and formal copy of the case was issued to the Manila office of Interpol over two months ago. He said he hoped the Justice Department in Ottawa has received it. “At this point, the Philippines has done everything they can for the family and friends of slain Canadian businessman Harry Doyle ... Now it’s in the hands of the Canadian authorities whose only task is get the arrest warrant into the proper hands so it can be formally served and the long extradition process can finally begin. I only hope someone in Canada at least knows on what desk it now sits and to what desk it is to be sent next. “The case is in limbo as are the lives of all parties involved both here in the Philippines and in Canada until that court-issued document is formally served,” Musslewhite said.

Liberal justice critic Brian Kenny, the MLA for Bathurst, said in the best interest of the public something needs to be done. “With such a high-profile case that’s international, you would think so. It sounds to me that the federal government has passed the buck on to the provincial government,” he said. Kenny said he agrees that action on the matter is overdue. He said he believes the public has a right to know what steps have been taken at this point to enforce the law but the process appears to be cloudy because three governments are involved. Philippine National Police investigators said they can’t get any information from Canadian police or the Justice Department either. Philippine authorities said they’re still waiting for any response by Canadian authorities about the handling of the arrest warrant that was given to Interpol several months ago and, as of this week, they had yet to receive confirmation that Ottawa had even received the arrest warrant. Philippine prosecutors will not go forward with trials against the other accused individuals until the arrest warrant is served on Jane Doyle,

 

Musslewhite said. “They will not start the trial before then as they would be forced then to present their whole case, and in doing so, without her present, will seriously put the prosecution at a disadvantage and help give Jane an unfair advantage when they do finally get her back here. The lawyer representing the Doyle family in the Philippines can do little until she’s arrested,” he said. Musslewhite is the only witness in the case who has remained in the area where the shooting happened. Harry Doyle’s former secretary, former driver, and three witnesses to the shooting have relocated to other communities out of fear for their safety, he said.

According to the Philippine National Police, Jeffery Parian, one of the two men accused of gunning Harry Doyle down, has been transferred to the Surigao Silop prison facility were Jerome Devocion, Doyle’s driver and bodyguard, is being held. Johnny Parian, who is also accused in the Doyle shooting, remains at large.

I'm not sure if I understood all text, but I didn't found anything the CANADIAN justice system have done. I suppouse the sender from Philippines know where they send it. Then can the reciever be asked if they have recieved it, have forwarded it, or if it's kept, what's done with it. So I don't understand why it can be this unclear still...

There are many in citizens in Canada who are trying to find out where the arrest warrant and case file is located. The PNP passed the paperwork to the Manila branch of INTERPOL who are tasked with sending the paperwork Ottawa, Canada. After 2 months nobody in Canada can verify that they have even received the documents. They seem content to simply pass the buck to another agency in what is becoming a bureaucratic game ping pong. The arrest warrant was issued by the Surigao City courts over three months ago. So who lost it? Did the Manila PNP heads forward the paperwork as is their duty, is INTERPOL inept, or the Canadian authorities incompetent?

 

I am going to the Surigao City PNP office and the Surigao City Prosecutors office today and verify that they are not the ones that are the cause of this mystery.

My money would back the possibility that the document(s) never left Manila.

 

But James, there is no earthly reason why the trial against all the defendants can not proceed although Johnny Parian's absence is a little awkward. Jane Doyle can be tried in her absence which is precisely what is taking place in Cebu City with regards to Ian Griffiths.

 

Has the Surigao Prosecutor asked the PNP to post an Interpol "Red Notice" in respect of Jane Doyle? Has the Prosecutor asked the DFA for Consular Assistance in getting Mrs Doyle arrested pending extradition back to the Philippines?
