The Department of Justice has directed the National Bureau of Investigation to do a parallel probe on the killing of Davao Occidental Assistant Provincial Prosecutor Eleanor Dela Peña last June 10 in Digos City, Davao del Sur.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said he ordered the NBI to investigate what he described as “merciless killing and to take immediate action to ensure the safety and security of those committed to upholding the rule of law and advancing justice in our land.” “In the name of our beloved colleague in justice, we vow that justice will be delivered,” Remulla said.
Reports indicated that Dela Peña was shot to death while onboard her vehicle at around 5 p.m. last June 10 in Digos City. An unidentified lone gunman on board a motorcycle was suspected as the killer. Remulla condemned the killing of Dela Pena, saying “there should be no place in society for such barbaric acts, totally abhorrent and sinister transgressing the most fundamental aspect of humanity and life.”
