00:00Seven people were charged with murder and frustrated murder
00:05by the former PCSO board secretary Wesley Barayuga on July 20, 2020.
00:11Among them are the accused criminals,
00:14former PCSO general manager Royina Garma
00:18and former NAPOLCOM commissioner Edilberto Leonardo.
00:22They have previously denied the charges.
00:25Salima Refran reports.
00:27I told Sir Leonardo that because an official of the government is the target,
00:35it is important that I do my own verification.
00:39But he said that I don't need it anymore
00:42because the order came from GM Garma,
00:46former Colonel Royina Garma.
00:51Following these revelations in the House Quad Committee
00:54and the reopening of the investigation...
00:57We're not letting go of the cold cases.
00:59We want to...
01:00If there are people who are willing to testify and give us evidence
01:03so that we can bring the cases to life
01:05because there is no silence until there is justice.
01:08Those behind the charges of murder and frustrated murder
01:12will be faced by former PCSO official Wesley Barayuga
01:17and his driver.
01:19The case files of the investigation of the Joint Task Force of PNPC-IDG and NBI-OTCD
01:26were named as Principles by Inducement
01:29by former PCSO general manager Royina Garma
01:32and former NAPOLCOM commissioner Edilberto Leonardo.
01:35There are also five other accusations in the complaint
01:38including those who accused Garma and Leonardo of being murderers,
01:42which is Police Lieutenant Colonel Santi Mendoza.
01:45This was first mentioned by Garma and Leonardo in the Quad Committee.
01:49I was just surprised, Mr. Chair.
01:51I didn't expect it.
01:52So this is the first time you heard
01:54that you are being implicated in the death of General Barayuga?
01:57Yes, Mr. Chair.
01:58You were never also investigated by any law enforcement agency
02:04as far as the death of General Barayuga was concerned?
02:06No, Mr. Chair.
02:08No one asked you questions?
02:09I don't remember anyone asking questions.
02:12That's not true, Mr. Chair.
02:13It's not true?
02:14I know that he's one of our underclassmen.
02:18But aside from that, I don't know him anymore.
02:22So no working relations with Colonel Mendoza?
02:25None.
02:26You weren't a person before in your units?
02:28No.
02:29Also included in the complaint was the contact of Mendoza
02:31to get the hitman Nelson Mariano
02:34and the one who got this hitman, Alya Stokes,
02:37who is also a police officer.
02:40Alya Stokes,
02:41who is a police senior master sergeant, Jeremy Kausapin.
02:44Alya Sloloy and John Doe were also complained.
02:48Because of their assistance in the investigation,
02:51it was recommended to make Mendoza and Mariano state witnesses.
02:55The complaints will be under the evaluation of the National Prosecution Service
03:00before they are sent to the preliminary investigation.
03:03Garma has been in America since November
03:06where he was detained
03:08because he was involved in allegations of money laundering
03:10and human rights violations.
03:12Leonardo has nothing to do with the texts in the number we are holding.
03:16The panic of the other complainants continues.
