NCRPO chief Brig. Gen. Jonnel Estomo has rejected the allegations of suspended BuCor Director General Gerald Bantag that the PNP was to be blamed for coordination lapses after one of the alleged middlemen in the plot to kill journalist Percy Lapid died.
The PNP also could not give orders on their level because the BuCor is under the Department of Justice, Estomo pointed out.
The initial autopsy indicated Villamor had died of cardiac arrest but an independent autopsy later performed by top forensic pathologist Raquel Fortun revealed that Villamor died of asphyxia or suffocation, and may have suffocated from a plastic bag placed over his head. Ang Probinsyano party-list Rep. Alfred delos Santos on Monday highlighted the importance of forensic pathologists on criminal probes, citing a questionable gap in the custody of the body of the alleged middleman in the Mabasa slay as shown in an autopsy report.
The autopsy report on NBP inmate Jun Villamor had been presented by Fortun, one of only two forensic pathologists in the country, who was asked by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla to conduct the examination of the remains.In a statement on Monday, Delos Santos, who is also a House of Representatives deputy majority leader, said three things stood out in Fortun’s autopsy report on Villamor’s body:Pale conjunctiva, an indicator of lack of oxygen in the blood, on the eyes.
