TINIYAK ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) na handa ito magsampa ng kaukulang kasong kriminal laban sa mga nasa likod ng pamamaslang kay retired police Gen. Wesley Barayuga noong Hulyo 2020.
“For the NBI we are already wrapping up or we are concluding the investigation on the Barayuga murder and in about three weeks time we shall be filing our cases against those involved. We are only awaiting the results of the forensic examination on the gadgets turned over by the wife of the victim Atty. Barayuga” pahayag ni NBI Deputy Director Ferdinand Lavin sa sa pagdinig ng quad committee ng Kamara.
“This was turned over to our agent in Iloilo, Atty. Arnold Diaz and he applied for warrants to examine the contents of the gadgets. These gadgets were brought to our main office for the examination and we should be ready with our reports in about two three weeks time your honor,” ani Lavin sa bilang tugon kay Antipolo City Rep. Romeo Acop na tumatayong senior vice chairman ng joint panel.
“In three weeks’ time cases will be filed, did I understand your answer correctly?,” tanong pa ni Acop, na kinumpirma naman ni Lavin.
Sa mga nakalipas na pagdinig ng quad comm, naungkat ang pamamaslang kay Barayuga (noon ay nanunungkulan bilang Board Secretary ng Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office) batay sa testimonya ni former PCSO General Manager Royina Garma – na kinumpirma naman sa detalyeng ibinahagi ng isa pang testigo – si Lt. Col. Santi Mendoza. (Romeo Allan Butuyan II)
