NBI tags two sons in
Tan killings, too
BY NESTOR BURGOS JR.

ILOILO CITY-The National Bureau of Investigation has upheld the results of a police investigation that tagged the sons of an Iloilo businessman as suspects in the killing of their father, stepmother and half-sister.

In a ten-page report dated March 16 and submitted to Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez Sr., the NBI Western Visayas Regional Office said there is "no convincing and substantial evidence" that would alter the findings of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group against Archie and Jan Michael Tan.

The CIDG had earlier filed two counts of murder and a count of parricide against the brothers for the January 8 killing of their father Francisco "Bobby" Tan, stepmother Cynthia Zayco-Tan and their six-year-old half-sister Katherine.
