“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.
