— The Office of the Ombudsman has dismissed criminal and administrative charges against four police officers accused of murdering – and attempting to kill – a group of Quezon City residents in a 2016 anti-drug operation, including a"Tokhang" survivor.
They also allegedly tried to murder Efren Morillo, who testified that the plainclothes policemen entered his friend Daa's house in Payatas while they were playing pool in August 2016, and fatally shot his companions. The complaint was filed before the Office of the Ombudsman by Morillo and family members of the slain drug war victims.
It further noted that it finds no probable cause to charge the policemen of robbery. The office said the existence of the items allegedly taken, as well as the alleged planting of illegal drugs and firearms, were not established.
