The motion argued that the cops committed murder as they acted with treachery and abuse of superior strength, evident premeditation, and conspired with one another. Meanwhile, it said that the respondents offered only general denial and alibi by stating that they were only designated as perimeter security, investigators, and supervisors while some said they were not present during the implementation.Meanwhile, the motion said that positive identification can still be done despite the absence of eyewitness or direct evidence and that the evidence on record is enough to find probable cause to indict the respondents for murder.
“It is Complainant’s humble submission that the circumstantial evidence, when taken altogether and following the guidelines laid down by jurisprudence in analyzing EJKs, inevitably point to the Respondents, who acted in conspiracy with one another, as the persons responsible,” it added.
