“I call on the human rights advocate again to investigate on this matter and give justice to the families of the victim,” Lt Col Diagmel ended.

Meanwhile, troops of 36IB proceeded to the area and retrieved the cadaver and immediately transported to San Miguel MPS for post mortem examination and proper investigation.
