MANILA - Detained Sen. Leila De Lima on Saturday sought for an independent and "serious" investigation on the killings of 2 farmer-activists who were supposedly caught painting an anti-administration graffiti in Guinobatan, Albay on Monday.
"The image of the unfinished slogan on the wall and their blood on the concrete will hit you to the core," the senator, who hails from Iriga, Camarines Sur, said. They were spray painting the words "Duterte Ibagsak" just hours before the President's State of the Nation Address when they were shot dead by police for allegedly fighting back.The police report claimed the 2 men were armed and fired shots at the policemen, forcing the law enforcers to fight back.Karapatan had also said the activists were unarmed during the ordeal.
Police chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar earlier vowed to investigate the killings, and has placed the police officers involved under restrictive custody while it is underway.
