Christopher Bacoto, the inmate who allegedly acted as the second middleman in the killing of broadcaster Percy Lapid, has submitted his counter-affidavit denying any involvement in the crime, his lawyer said Friday.
The counter-affidavit was submitted during the preliminary investigation of the murder complaints in connection with the killing of Lapid and alleged first middleman Jun Villamor.
“So gumawa kami ng counter-affidavit denying all of it dahil si Christopher ay almost four years nang nakakulong sa high detention facility and there is no possibility na hindi niya relative o hindi niya counsel ang dumalaw sa kanya,” he added.
