Authorities have obtained information that can lead to the identification of the mastermind behind the killing of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo and eight others, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Rodolfo Azurin Jr. said Monday.
“The continuing investigation into the death of nine persons in Negros Oriental, including Governor Roel Degamo, has uncovered promising leads from evidence and testimonies that will establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and the identification of key players in this multiple murder case,” Azurin said in press briefing.
Azurin said four arrested suspects have expressed willingness to cooperate in the investigation and are now preparing their sworn statements and other legal documents. Azurin said complaints for violation of firearms law and illegal possession of explosives were filed against the suspects. Azurin said he was surprised that the confiscated firearms are new and even better compared to the equipment used by the police.
