PHILIPPINE investigators will file a murder case against 35 police officers and soldiers for allegedly executing 13 people at a checkpoint, the justice secretary says.
An investigation ordered by President Benigno Aquino III into the killings concluded that the victims were summarily executed and there was no shootout as claimed by the security personnel.
Presidential spokeswoman Abigail Valte said Aquino directed Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to file a criminal and administrative complaint after reading the report by the National Bureau of Investigation.
"The conclusion is that no shootout occurred," de Lima said on Wednesday. "The victims were summarily executed."
She said prosecutors would decide whether there was enough evidence against the 21 police and 14 soldiers before filing the case in court.
The investigation found that the killings were a plan by the police colonel who led the security force at the checkpoint, Hansel Marantan, to eliminate his rival in the illegal gambling operation. Local newspapers have reported that Marantan was a protector of an illegal numbers game called "jueteng".
Marantan has denied any wrongdoing.
