The Department of Justice has dismissed the murder complaint against 17 police officers allegedly involved in the killing of spouses Chai and Ariel Evangelista on March 7, 2021 in the so-called Bloody Sunday raids.
In a 25-page resolution, the panel of prosecutors recommended the dismissal of the murder complaint against the police for insufficiency of evidence. Prosecutor General Benedicto Malcontento approved the resolution. The panel cleared respondents Police Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Tan Nandu Jr.
“It would be highly speculative to assume that respondents agreed among themselves to kill spouses Evangelista when there are records which showed that the PNP conducted pre-operation preparations in implementing the search warrants against persons who are armed and dangerous,” it said. The panel said these were the pistols recovered in the alleged possession of the spouses inside their home.
