Raps vs Ramgen sister Gail, husband junked

The Parañaque prosecutor’s office has dismissed the criminal complaints against Gail Bautista and husband Hiro Furuyama linking them to the murder of her older brother, actor Ramgen Bautista.

The murder complaints against the couple were filed by the victim’s girlfriend Janelle Manahan, who was shot in the face by the masked man who also shot and stabbed Ramgen dead at his Parañaque City home on Oct. 28, 2011.

Gail is one of the three Bautista siblings accused by Janelle of being part of a plot to kill Ramgen. Investigators also believed that the siblings masterminded the murder of their eldest brother over a financial squabble.

Last year, the Parañaque police filed murder charges also against Ramon Joseph “RJ” Bautista, who has since been detained, and Ramona Bautista, who has fled the country.

Four other men allegedly hired to kill Ramgen have also been arrested. They included the alleged contact of the killers, Ryan Pastera, a close friend of Gail and Hiro.

Janelle alleged that Ramona, who also witnessed the attack, called for Gail and Hiro before she left the crime scene, and that none of her boyfriend’s siblings came to their aid.

But a resolution dated Aug. 16 and released to the parties on

Tuesday said “probable cause has not been established” to support the charges against Gail and Hiro.

“We find the evidence insufficient to indict [them] for frustrated murder and murder… There was no overt act from which can be inferred their participation,” according the five-page document signed by State Prosecutor Lamberto Fabros, City Prosecutor Amerhassan Paudac and Senior Assistant City Prosecutor Apolinario Quetulio Jr.
