By J.Lo
"We are committed to ensuring that justice prevails, not just in this case, but in all instances where innocent suffer," Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil said in statement two decomposing human remains found in Capas, Tarlac have been confirmed to be those of beauty pageant candidate Geneva Lopez and her Israeli partner Yitshak Cohen, based on their clothing and items found on the corpses.
Operatives of Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) found corpses buried in lot in Barangay Sta. Lucia at around 7 in the morning. They carried out operation based on search warrant issued on Friday by Judge Edwin Bonifacio of Tarlac City Regional Trial Court Branch 111.
With discovery of victims' remains, Marbil vowed to bring perpetrators of crime to justice.
Lopez and Cohen, residents of Barangay Malabanias in Angeles City, Pampanga, were reported missing by their relatives on June 22, day after the couple went to Capas, Tarlac to check property that they planned to buy.
Pampanga Gov. Dennis Pineda, who was present when corpses were dug up, said bodies were those of couple.
"This was confirmed by the police based on victims' clothing," Pineda said on Facebook.
Pineda vowed to help couple's families achieve justice. "Let's pray for their souls…my condolences to their families," he said.
PNP public information officer Col. Jean Fajardo said relatives of Lopez and Cohen positively identified them based on clothes they were last seen wearing before they went missing on June 21.
Fajardo said autopsy would be performed on the victims' remains to determine cause of death. Investigators will also lift tissue samples from corpses for DNA testing to confirm their identities. Cadavers were brought to funeral parlor in Tarlac City.
Five persons of interests including two former police officers are in police custody after being arrested separately in Tarlac for illegal possession of firearms, Fajardo said.
Two former police officers were arrested yesterday while third, civilian, was nabbed on Friday.
"There are two other POIs ,persons of interest in police custody," she said in phone interview.
