“It is with the panel of prosecutor. They are the ones investigating it. I got a report yesterday that there will be more witnesses who wants to surface to clarify the involvement or non-involvement in what happened [to Salilig],” Remulla told reporters.
“From what I know, there are six more who want to surrender,” he added.
Aside from the seven, five persons of interest are under the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) protective custody.
