His latest appointment as Davao City’s police chief is a homecoming of sorts for Police Col. Lito Patay.
And for victims of the previous administration’s so-called war against illegal drugs, this is a cause for concern, especially as they expect the issuance of arrest warrants against former president Rodrigo Duterte and others who are behind the deadly killings.MANILA, Philippines —
Patay is a member of the so-called “Davao Boys,” a group of policemen from the former president’s hometown who were brought to Metro Manila to supposedly take part in the implementation of the drug war. Conti, who represents victims and families in the ICC case, said they will study their next steps with regard to Patay’s appointment.
Conti said the new witnesses being asked by the ICC should be those who actually received the instruction from the principal accused in the implementation of Duterte’s bloody war on drugs. On reports that the ICC prosecutor is asking for more witnesses, Conti said she has no knowledge of it, but said it could be because they are trying to identify who else are responsible.
