A father’s cry for justice

DEXTER Carlos Jr., the security guard whose family was massacred by a self-confessed rapist and killer and his accomplices, is crying for justice that he undoubtedly deserves no matter the state of the Philippine judicial system, for “Justice delayed is justice denied” as the legal maxim, supposedly penned by the 19th-century British Prime Minister William Gladstone, goes.

The perpetrators must pay for the heinous crime of raping and stabbing to death Auring Dizon, a 58-year-old grandmother, and her 35-year-old daughter, Estrella Dizon Carlos. And pay swiftly they must for also stabbing to death Dexter and Estrella’s children— Donny, 11; Ella, 7; and one-year-old Dexter Jr.
