The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has submitted additional evidence during the preliminary hearing on the murder complaints over the killing of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo, Department of Justice spokesperson Mico Clavano said Tuesday.
Clavano said the additional evidence includes pictures and videos which will further identify the accused at the scene of the crime, supporting the testimonies they gave before they recanted.
“And these recantations are just statements being taken back. But to put them up against actual object evidence such as pictures and videos will be hard for them to defend. So ito po ‘yung sinubmit nilang additional [These are the additional pieces of evidence submitted],” he added.The probe was for the multiple murder complaints filed against suspended Negros Oriental Representative Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr.
“[A]lam naman ho nating hindi naman pwedeng mag submit ng photocopies ng affidavits kaya ho, you know, we know naman we are dealing with lawyers who are professionals,” he added. “Ang gusto lang naman ng departamento ay ma-file na ito sa korte para umusad na rin itong kasong ito,” he said.
