SUSPECT. Bureau of Corrections superintendent Ricardo Zulueta poses for a photo inside his legal counsel's office in Baguio City on December 13.Former BuCor superintendent Ricardo Zulueta, along with his former boss Gerald Bantag, was among the suspects behind Lapid's assassination in 2022 BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – A former Bureau of Corrections official tagged in the assassination of broadcasterFormer BuCor superintendent Ricardo Zulueta, 42, died due to heart failure at around 11 pm on Friday, March 15, according to a report by the Bataan provincial police. Zulueta died at the Bataan Peninsula Medical Center in Dinalupihan town, where he was brought by his brother.
“As much as possible, we would like the PNP to ascertain the real cause of his death since he was originally tagged as one of the masterminds in the killing of Percy Lapid. Getting an independent autopsy report would assuage the public that we are indeed after the truth,” Mabasa said. Zulueta, who was once part of the BuCor’s directorate for security and operations, was implicated in the killing of Lapid in late 2022, along with his former boss, former BuCor chief Gerald Bantag, and a couple of persons deprived of liberty . Lapid was killed in Las Piñas City in October 2022 – the second journalist to be killed under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
