ICYMI: The police announced the creation of a task group to look into the murder of model Yvonette Chua Plaza following allegations that were getting viral on social media about the alleged involvement of a prominent law enforcement personality.
Police Maj. Eudisan Gultiano, Davao regional police spokesperson, said the Task Group Yvonette would be composed of 11 police personnel headed by Police Col. Thor Valiente Cuyos, the deputy regional director for operations; DCPO director Col. Alberto Lupaz; and Davao region’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group chief Maj. Randy Rajah Ramos.
Gultiano said police would usually create a task group in cases when the victims involved included prominent personalities like politicians, or in some cases that are “sensational,” adding that Plaza’s case had so much “public interest” involved because of “speculations” generated by some posts on social media.
The photos generated wild speculations, prompting the family to release a statement asking netizens to stop fueling such speculations as they asked for justice for the victim.Progressive groups on Sunday also asked authorities to spare “no sacred cows” in the probe and to investigate the alleged involvement of a top-ranking official in her murder.
