Eleven of them faced the preliminary investigation hearing and were required to submit their counter-affidavit on October 17. Delos Santos’ parents were set to file their reply on October 23.

Paculan was unable to attend the hearing because he was not included in the subpoena.

First to be charged with murder and torture complaints were Chief Inspector Amor Cerillo, PO 3 Arnel Oares, PO1 Jerwin Cruz, and PO1 Jeremias Pereda. /je
