“The Dacera family was not surprised that the rape with homicide case filed by the police was dismissed because there’s so many irregularities,” Reyes, the family lawyer and spokesperson, told the Manila Bulletin in a phone interview.
The Makati City Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the charges of rape with homicide against 11 suspects in the death of the flight attendant for lack of probable cause.
“We were not surprised na ganito resolution ng fiscal. Remember, ginamit ng Makati Police ay medical report ni Dr. Sarmiento saying natural cause ang pagkamatay (We were not surprised of the fiscal’s resolution. Remember, the Makati Police used the medical report of Dr. Sarmiento saying her cause of death was natural cause),” he stressed.

Published March 12, 2021 10:29am The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is expected to file charges on Friday in connection with the death of flight attendant Christine Dacera on January 1. NBI spokesperson Ferdinand Lavin declined to give details though he said the charges will be different from the complaint for rape with homicide filed by the police before the Makati City Prosecutor’s Office. “We maintain the level of confidentiality insofar as the full result of the investigation is concerned. Out of respect to DID (Death Investigation Division), I do not want to preempt them,” Lavin told reporters.
The Philippine National Police has sought the reopening of the probe on the death of flight attendant Christine Dacera, citing new evidence and test results.
