JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Tuesday said he would direct Bureau of Corrections Director-General Gerald Bantag to look into the claims of the self-confessed gunman in the ambush-slay of Percy Mabasa, also known by his radio name as Percy Lapid, that someone from the New Bilibid Prison gave the order to kill the late broadcaster.
Following his surrender, Estorial tagged three other suspects who are still-at-large in the killing of the veteran radioman. He identified them as Israel and Edmon Dimaculangan and a certain Orlando or Orly. “What the gunman said and the DG [Bantag] knows, we do not know if they are the same. We cannot presume that,” he said.“If guilty, it has to be vetted properly. Definitely, a gunman is not the whole crime itself. It should be vetted as a conspiracy probably,” the DOJ chief said.
“Our policies in the NBP are all aimed at preventing convicted criminals in further being able to inflict harm on our free society,” he added.
