Through its Western Visayas office, the CHR has begun its independent investigation into the massacre of the Fausto family in Himamaylan City in Negros Occidental. | SAbrogarINQ
“CHR, through its office in Region VI, already dispatched investigators to pursue the truth behind the killings and seek justice for the victims,” said the human rights ombudsman, on Saturday.According to the CHR, the victims —Rolly and Emelda Fausto, and their two sons— sustained close-range gunshot wounds allegedly from an M16 rifle. It was the Faustos’ eldest daughter that learned of her family’s deaths and reported it the following day.
Contradicting allegations have surfaced since the killings took place on Wednesday. Farmers and rights groups assert that the killings are linked to the Philippine Army while the Army has denied involvement, redirecting blame to the New People’s Army
