Taiwanese, NBI probers meet anew to discuss findings

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 6 ): Taiwanese, NBI probers meet anew to discuss findings

The National Bureau of Investigation and Taiwanese investigators will meet Thursday to talk about their findings about the shooting incident in Balintang Channel last May 9 that led to the death of a Taiwanese fisherman.

NBI Director Nonnatus Caesar Rojas confirmed the Taiwanese investigators arrived in the country Thursday morning to sit down with their counterparts with the NBI.

Justice Secretary Leila M. De Lima earlier said the Taiwanese probers have requested for such a meeting.

Both Philippine and Taiwanese governments are investigating the May 9, 2013 shooting by Philippine Coast Guard personnel of 65-year old Taiwanese fisherman Hung Shih-Cheng.

The concerned PCG personnel have maintained Shih-Cheng was accidentally shot at after the Taiwanese fishing vessel refused to heed their warning shots.

De Lima added the meeting will not resort to any "cross-checking" of findings.
