The mother of the 17-year-old who was killed by Navotas policemen last week in a case of mistaken identity is set to return to the Philippines from Qatar after she sought assistance from the Department of Migrant Workers.
According to a memo sent to President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., DMW officer in charge Bernard Olalia said Undersecretary Rodaliza Baltazar is now at the DMW office in Doha, where she is waiting for her flight home.
The policemen reportedly mistook the teenager for a suspect in a fatal shooting incident during their follow-up operation. Some of the six policemen said in their affidavits that they fired shots only at the water and that they did not intend to hit Rodaliza. The policemen have undergone inquest proceedings over complaints of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide.
