Former NPA spokesman Ka Roger Rosal’s daughter Andrea Rosal has been cleared of a murder charge and ordered released by a Quezon court, the National Union of Peoples' Lawyers said in a news release Monday.
Andrea Rosal was arrested March last year on charges of murder and kidnapping.
This morning, the court granted her motion to quash the false murder charge and issued a release order.
This followed a Pasig court’s similar dismissal of a kidnapping charge last year, her lawyer Maria Kristina Conti said.
Both cases were junked because no evidence linked her to the crimes, Conti said, adding that these were harassment suits.
NUPL lawyers and Karapatan para-legal are now working for her immediate release as no legal impediment exists anymore to hold her in police custody.
Andrea Rosal was eight months pregnant when arrested. She lost her baby daughter while in detention, in part due to government neglect and adverse jail conditions.
