9 more fratmen named in hazing death; Law dean, 64 others on watchlist

A KEY witness in the death of a hazing victim identified nine more fraternity members who participated in the initiation rites as the Department of Justice (DOJ) widened its dragnet on alleged persons of interest in the case by placing 65 of them, including a law dean, on the lookout bulletin of the Bureau of Immigration.

In an affidavit he submitted to the DOJ, Mark Ventura said among those who took part in the fatal initiation by the Aegis Juris of Horacio “Atio” Castillo 3rd, a freshman law student of the University of Santo Tomas (UST), were Edric Pilapil, Zach Abulencia, Daniel Ragos, Dave Felix, Sam Cagalingan, Alex Cairo, Luis Kapulong, Kim Cyrill Roque, and Ged Villanueva.
