Transcript
00:00Complaints of murder and prostitute murder were filed regarding the murder of former PCSO board secretary Wesley Barayuga last July 2020.
00:09Among them is the former PCSO general manager Roina Garma and the former commissioner Edilberto Leonardo, who previously denied the charges.
00:19Salima Refrat has the first news.
00:23I told Sir Leonardo that because an official of the government is the target, it is important for me to do my own verification.
00:34But he said that I don't need it anymore because the order came from GM Garma, former Colonel Roina Garma.
00:46Following these revelations in the House Squad Committee and the continued reopening of the investigation,
00:52We're not letting go of the cold cases. We want to, if there are people who are willing to testify and give us evidence,
00:58so that we can revive the cases because there is no silence until there is justice.
01:03Those behind the scenes will now face complaints of murder and prostitute murder
01:08on the account of former PCSO official Wesley Barayuga and his driver.
01:13The case files of the investigation of the joint task force of PNPC-IDG and NBI-OTCD,
01:20named as Principles by Inducement,
01:23were filed by former PCSO general manager Roina Garma and former NAPOCOM commissioner Edilberto Leonardo.
01:30There are also five other charges in the complaint,
01:32including the one that pointed to Garma and Leonardo as murderers,
01:37which is Police Lieutenant Colonel Santi Mendoza.
01:40This was first denied by Garma and Leonardo in the squad committee.
01:43I was just surprised, Mr. Chair. I didn't expect it.
01:46So this is the first time you heard that you are being implicated in the death of General Barayuga?
01:52Yes, Mr. Chair.
01:53You were never also investigated by any law enforcement agency as far as the death of General Barayuga was concerned?
02:01No, Mr. Chair.
02:02No one asked you questions?
02:04I don't remember anyone asking questions.
02:06That's not true, Mr. Chair.
02:07That's not true?
02:08I know that he's an underclassman.
02:12But aside from that, I don't know him anymore.
02:17So no working relations with Colonel Mendoza?
02:19None.
02:20You weren't a person before in your units?
02:22No.
02:23Mendoza's contact was also included in the complaint to get the hitman, Nelson Mariano.
02:29And the hitman, alias Toks, was also a police officer.
02:34Alias Toks was introduced to the police by Senior Master Sergeant Jeremy Causapin.
02:39Another alias, Loloy, and another, John Doe, were also complained about.
02:43Because of their cooperation in the investigation,
02:45it was recommended that Mendoza and Mariano be made state witnesses.
02:50The complaints will be under the evaluation of the National Prosecution Service
02:55before they are sent to the preliminary investigation.
02:58Garma has been in America since November.
03:01He was detained because he was involved in allegations of money laundering and human rights violations.
03:07Leonardo has no connection to the texts in the number we have.
03:11He continues to get the hitmen of the other complaints.
03:14This is the first news in Neymar Efran for GMA Integrated News.
03:31.
