MANILA – A murder complaint was filed against Joel Escorial, the suspect behind the killing of broadcaster Percy Lapid, the Philippine National Police’s Southern Police District (SPD) confirmed on Wednesday, October 19.
The complaint, filed by the police and Lapid’s family, included three others: brothers Israel and Edmon Dimaculangan, and a certain “Orly,” whom Escorial alleged was part of the crime.
In a phone call with Rappler, SPD chief public information officer Police Major Hazel Asilo said the complaint was filed with the Department of Justice (DOJ) on October 18 – the same day Interior chief Benhur Abalos presented Escorial as the suspect in the killing.
