The family of slain radio broadcaster Percy Lapid expressed “reservation” that the confessed assassin was the real killer and lawmakers said the police should ensure a tight case against those responsible for the killing. | dexcabalzaINQ krixiasINQ /PDI
He said the request “is also for the public good.”
When Estorial was presented by Abalos to the media at the PNP headquarters in Camp Crame on Tuesday, the confessed gunman’s face was half-covered by a mask and he was wearing a bulletproof vest and Kevlar helmet. Estorial, 39, is a native of Javier, a fourth-class municipality in Leyte province, who had settled in Quezon City.
“I do not want my brother to be simply part of the statistics of our dismal record of impunity in the country,” he said. “Accountability in this case will help chip away at the culture of impunity around journalist killings that media, civil society and government agencies have been working to change,” it said in a statement.
Police Brig. Gen. Kirby John Kraft, the Southern Police District chief, told the Inquirer that Estorial disclosed the name of the NBP prisoner and the PNP had coordinated with the Bureau of Corrections and the Department of Justice for “access to this inmate.”
