A top Central Visayas police official said he feared for his life after the killing of the main witness in a sensational case involving alleged torture and rape of local policemen in a secret cell in Cebu City.
“
Human nga gipatay atong witness, nabalaka jud ko sa akong kinabuhi (After our witness was killed, I worry for my life)," Police Major Alejandro Batobalonos told Rappler on Saturday, April 24.
Batobalanos is the head of the Integrity Monitoring and Enhancement Group (IMEG) Central Visayas Field Unit which was investigating the claims of at least 3 women that they were raped and tortured by at least 11 cops inside a secret room at the Pasil Police Station 6 (Sawang Calero Police Station) in Cebu City.
