Killer identified as doc’s ex-patient, married twice to Pinays

THE Cebu City Police Office has identified the Caucasian man who shot dead an internist inside her clinic last Thursday.
Supt. Pablo Labra II, chief of the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Bureau (CIIB), and Homicide Section Chief Mario Monilar identified the Caucasian as Oleg Parfenyuk, 52, who came from Rotterdam, Netherlands and temporarily resided at Myrna Optina Apartment in Purok 8, Barangay Camputhaw, Cebu City.
Parfenyuk was born on May 25, 1953 in Leningrad in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
Records gathered by the police reveal that Parfenyuk had two marriages to Filipino women.
He got an annulment from his first wife in 1995 and then married a resident of Patag, Cagayan de Oro City last Dec. 17, 2003 at the San Antonio Parish Church in Noveleta, Cavite.
Monilar said Parfenyuk and his second wife were no longer living together since November last year.
Labra told reporters yesterday they learned about Parfenyuk’s identity after a member of the Military Intelligence Group (MIG) called him up last Saturday night and informed him about a Caucasian in Camputhaw who looked like Parfenyuk.
Labra, Monilar, together with homicide investigators and Vice Mayor Michael Rama, proceeded to Camputhaw at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
Documents
Labra said after coordinating with Myrna Optina, the apartment owner, they opened Parfenyuk’s room and found several documents, including his passport.
To make sure that Parfenyuk, who was known in Camputhaw as “Alex,” was indeed the Caucasian who fatally shot Dr. Jane Lim-Chua, the police brought some of the residents to the Cebu Rolling Hills Memorial Chapel to take a look at the man’s body.
The residents confirmed the earlier findings of the police.
Aside from the passport, homicide investigators and personnel from the Scene of the Crime Operations (Soco) found his 1995 annulment papers, 22 live .380 bullets, medical receipts and records from different doctors he had consulted the past years.
The doctors, most of them specializing in internal medicine, Labra said, will be invited to help in the investigation, particularly in determining Parfenyuk’s ailment.
Monilar said they did not find any record in Parfenyuk’s room that would indicate he was once a patient of Chua. But, Chua’s family, Monilar said, furnished the Homicide Section a copy of Parfenyuk’s medical record showing that he was the doctor’s patient in January and February 2001.
Background
Chua, an internist, was in her clinic last Thursday shortly before noon when Parfenyuk, armed with a .380 pistol, suddenly entered the room and shot her four times.
Chua’s family had offered a P50,000 cash reward to anyone who can provide information that will lead to the identity of Parfenyuk.
Labra said they already asked Honorary Consul of the Netherlands Roberto Aboitiz to run a background check on Parfenyuk.
Based on the records in Parfenyuk’s passport, his last entry to the country was on Dec. 11, 2004.
He first arrived on Nov. 19, 2000.
Monilar said he will coordinate with the Bureau of Immigration today.
Labra and Monilar said Optina and Parfenyuk’s former housemaid Cristita, who visited the office of the Homicide Section early morning yesterday, said Parfenyuk once confided to them about his “incurable ailment” but failed to tell them what it was.
Monilar said Cristita also submitted a copy of Parfenyuk and his second wife’s marriage certificate.
Monilar said the wife, who is in Consolacion, Cagayan de Oro City, was invited to come to Cebu City to help in the investigation.
