Biñan City Police Station Chief Lt. Col. Virgilio M. Jopia told the Manila Bulletin on Tuesday, March 7, that the new witnesses are members of Tau Gamma Phi fraternity who also underwent the welcoming rites.“Ki-norroborate nila ’yung participation ng previously-identified na suspects na kasama sa initiation, kasama sa pagba-baon ng bangkay. Dala lang nila ‘yung mga evidence nila, like ‘yung shorts na isinuot nila ‘nung pinalo sila ,” Jopia said in a phone interview.
The police chief also confirmed that the complainants said Salilig received more hits than the others. Ten suspects in the hazing death remain at large.
