PAMPLONA BEATING
Seek independent probe,
NBI urges PNP official
BY GUILLERMO TEJIDA JR.
The head of the National Bureau of Investigation in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental whose agents claimed to have been mauled by policemen of Pamplona town on Feb. 4, yesterday urged Chief Insp. Julius Muņez, police deputy director of Oriental Negros, to seek an independent probe, if he is not interested in cooperating with the NBI fact-finding body from Central Visayas now looking into the incident.
Bacolod NBI agent-in-charge Philip Pecache yesterday told the DAILY STAR that Muņez, by defying the subpoena for him to appear before the fact-finding commission of the NBI-Region 7, has, in effect, waived his right to present his side on what really transpired between the NBI men and the Pamplona policemen he was leading during the alleged mauling.
"His refusal is tantamount to a waiver on his part,"
Pecache said, adding that if Muņez doesn't trust the NBI probe team,
then he should seek other investigating bodies or agencies to look into
the case.
