CCTV footage and boy's testimony about seeing the victim getting tortured result in policemen's conviction.
For kidnapping, the court ordered the policemen to jointly pay Fernandez’s heirs P350,000 in damages, excluding lawsuit costs.
While the CCTV footage showed one of the suspects taking Fernandez’s motorcycle, prosecutors failed to show its ownership and registration papers. He told Rappler on Wednesday, March 22, that he was glad to win a conviction against the policemen because “they were cops who operated like a crime syndicate.”
