The Court of Appeals upheld the conviction for murder of seven members of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group, who were behind the killing of a military asset in 2007.
But the appellate court modified the RTC decision by increasing the civil liabilities imposed against the seven terrorists from P275,000 to P350,000, representing moral, exemplary, temperate damages. “The defense has failed to refute the prosecution’s evidence. Hence, the accused- appellants must remain in prison for the rest of their lives unless age or sincere remorse unfastens their bonds,” it said.
The accused-appellants then buried the victim’s body in the sand, but a fisherman saw it floating two days after near the shore of Puting Buhangin, Barangay Marangas, Bataraza, Palawan.
