Supreme Court charges retired Cebu justice in lawyer's murder

The Supreme Court has filed administrative charges against retired Court of Appeals Justice Isaias Dicdican for alleged involvement in the 2020 murder of lawyer Joey Luis Wee. Dicdican faces potential disbarment and loss of pension. The charges stem from a memorandum implicating Dicdican in the murder, based on an extrajudicial confession from a suspect. The confession details Dicdican's alleged role in ordering and financing the hit, motivated by a legal dispute. A separate criminal complaint against Dicdican is also under investigation. The accused suspect claims Dicdican also sought a hitman for another lawyer's murder.
