The Manila Police District (MPD) said Tuesday that they are now
having a difficult time getting the “real deal” on the slaying
of two Commission on Election (Comelec) officials who once headed
the agency’s law department.
MPD-Homicide Section Chief Dominador Arevalo
said they are having a hard time solving the case of slain Comelec
official, Wynne Asdala, as they have talked to at least five
witnesses, including Asdala’s stenographer Rena Ballo. But all the
witnesses have given different statements.
“Ballo’s statement is different from the
other five self-proclaimed witnesses we talked to,” Arevalo told
The Manila Times. “The other statements have no substance and are
contradicting Ballo’s statement. As of now, we are only
considering Ballo’s (statement) as the legitimate one, but we do
not disregard the others.”
For the Alioden Dalaig slay case, Arevalo said
they are still waiting for someone who can identify the man seen
with the Comelec official in the closed circuit television of the
Manila Pavillion last November 10.
“The two cases would take a long time to be
solved since we are waiting for someone who could give new, concrete
details on the two cases,” Arevalo said.
