MANILA, Philippines – The Quezon City Regional Trial Court on Tuesday, November 24, found Jason Ivler guilty of murdering the son of a former Malacañang official.

The 28-year-old Ivler, a nephew of music icon Freddie Aguilar, shot dead Renato Ebarle Jr during a traffic altercation at Santolan Avenue in Quezon City on November 18, 2009. 

Ebarle was the son of former Undersecretary Renato Ebarle Sr, the chief of staff of former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

The National Bureau of Investigation arrested Ivler in 2010.

In its ruling, the court sentenced Ivler to reclusion perpetua or up to 40 years in prison, and ordered him to pay P9.373 million in damages to the Ebarle family, GMA News reported.

The report also said Ivler was ordered to transfer to the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City from the Quezon City Jail Annex in Taguig City. – Rappler.com
