Gang leaders and their members at the New Bilibid Prison pleaded guilty to the killing of Jun Villamor, the alleged middleman who contacted people to kill broadcaster Percy Lapid in October 2022.

In an order dated June 27, but made public only on Thursday, June 29, Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court Branch 206 Presiding Judge Gener Gito convicted the two Bilibid gang members after they pleaded guilty to a lesser offense.

Meanwhile, other Sputnik Gang members, Christian Ramac, Ricky Salgado, Ronnie dela Cruz, and Joel Reyes all pleaded guilty as accomplices. They were originally charged as principals “by direct participation.”
