The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) also filed before the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Thursday criminal complaints against the police officers involved in the death of 17-year-old Kian Loyd delos Santos.
A complaint for murder, violation of Domicile under Article 128 of the Revised Penal Code and Section 29 of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act or planting of evidence have been filed against Chief Inspector Amor Cerillo, Police Officer 3 Arnel Oares, PO1 Jeremias Tolete Pereda and Jerwin Roque Cruz.
The NBI said contrary to the claim of the police officers that Kian fought it out with the police, evidence showed that Kian was shot to the head — behind the left ear and inside the left ear when he was in a fetal position.
“Police protocol mandates that any police officer making an arrest should immediately search the arrested individual for any dangerous weapons or prohibited items and afterwards bring the arrested individual at the police station for proper filing of the case,” the NBI said.
