Probe crematoriums, VACC urges Congress

THE Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) on Wednesday called on Congress to look into the operations of crematoriums and if possible shut them down temporarily, until the passage of a measure to prevent criminals from using them to dispose of murder victims.

Dante Jimenez, founding chairman of the VACC, said criminal syndicates have become more creative and could have been using various means, including cremation, to eliminate evidence.
