Manila, Philippines – Anomang araw ay makapaghahain na ng kaso ang National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) laban sa mga sangkot sa pagpatay noong July 2020 kay retired police general at Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) board secretary Wesley Barayuga.
Kinumpirma ito ni NBI Deputy Director Ferdinand Lavin sa mga mambabatas sa kaniyang pagdalo sa ika-14 na pagdinig ng House Quad Comm na nag-iimbestiga sa iligal na droga, Philippine offshore gaming operations at sa naganap na extrajudicial killings sa nakaraang administrasyon.
“For the NBI we are already wrapping up or we are concluding the investigation on the Barayuga murder and in about three weeks time we shall be filing our cases against those involved. We are only awaiting for the results of the forensic examination on the gadgets turned over by the wife of the victim Atty. Barayuga, this was turned over to our agent in Iloilo, Atty. Arnold Diaz and he applied for warrants to examine the contents of the gadgets. These gadgets were brought to our main office for the examination and we should be ready with our reports in about two three weeks time your honor,” ani Lavin.
Sa pagdinig na ito nabuksan ang Barayuga assassination case nang si Police Lt. Col. Santi Mendoza ay tumestigo sa komite at idinetalye ang nabanggit na pagpatay noong July 30, 2020 na naganap sa hindi kalayuan sa PCSO office sa Mandaluyong City. (Meliza Maluntag)
