MANILA, Philippines – Narekober ng mga awtoridad ang closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage sa lugar sa isang beach resort sa Aurora kung saan umano nalunod ang dalawang basketball player ng Ateneo de Manila University.
“The case is being handled through evidence-based and forensic procedures. Investigators are continuing to piece together the circumstances surrounding the incident,” sinabi ni PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. nitong Huwebes, Hunyo 11.
“CCTV footage from the area has already been recovered to help reconstruct the sequence of events,” aniya.
“We have been communicating with all parties concerned and coordinating with other investigating agencies in relation to this incident.”
Lumahok ang mga player ng Ateneo na sina Rene Baterbonia at Divine Adili sa kanilang teambuilding activity sa isang beach resort sa Dipaculao, Aurora nang sila ay tinangay umano palayo ng current.
Narekober ang katawan ng dalawang player malapit sa dalampasigan 30 hanggang 40 minuto matapos maireport ang insidente, ayon kay Aurora police chief Col. Percival Pineda.
“The unfortunate incident involving two college basketball players should not be a topic of online hate and debate. Let us show respect to the families, and trust the ongoing process of finding out what really happened,” sinabi ni Nartatez.
“We urge our netizens to be responsible by refraining from speculations and sharing unverified stories and reports. Allow us to do our job and we assure of our commitment to finish the investigation in the soonest possible time,” dagdag pa niya.
Ipinag-utos na ni Nartatez ang masusing imbestigasyon sa insidente at nangako na walang magiging cover-up sa imbestigasyon.
