Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla announced that 120 out of the 176 unclaimed cadavers of PDLs will be transferred to the PGH for autopsy to determine whether they died of natural causes or were summarily executed while serving their prison terms.
JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla announced on Wednesday that 120 out of the 176 unclaimed cadavers of persons deprived of liberty will be transferred to the Philippine General Hospital for autopsy to determine whether they died of natural causes or were summarily executed while serving their prison terms inside the New Bilibid Prison .
The cadavers are currently stored at the Bureau of Corrections-accredited Eastern Funeral Homes in Muntinlupa City. Remulla said in case the results of the autopsy on the cadavers would indicate possible foul play, the NBI and the Philippine National Police would be tapped to conduct further investigation and case build up.“The NBI will be given the first crack at this because it’s a DOJ [Department of Justice] undertaking. The PNP will also be given a similar copy of all the results because we are conducting a joint operation on this matter. This is also a police matter,” the DOJ chief said.
