00:00One of the three suspects used a mastermind to kill a businessman in Bulacan
00:06who was dispatched to the scene by using a drum.
00:10The same was done to the sister of the actress, Rochelle Barameda,
00:14who also went to the NBI for a fingerprint analysis of the suspect.
00:18The suspect was accused of fighting the suspect and the motive is unknown to my knowledge.
00:24The mastermind promised to pay Php 200,000
00:31to the Gun For Hire, alias Noli and alias Mervin,
00:35to kill the 62-year-old victim.
00:39According to the family, the victim's name was not mentioned.
00:43The victim was found dead in a drum in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan this month.
00:47The mastermind gave the first payment of Php 100,000.
00:53If they accomplished their task of killing the victim, the businessman,
01:00they will be given another additional Php 100,000.
01:04According to the QCPD,
01:06the mastermind was ordered to take the video of the victim before killing it
01:11until it was placed in a drum and thrown away.
01:14This is how the investigation of the QCPD came out
01:18when they confessed to one of the three suspects in the kidnapping of the victim
01:22that happened this January 5.
01:24In the extrajudicial room of the patient, they plugged an electric wire.
01:30The mastermind ordered them to delay for 5 to 10 minutes
01:35to make sure that the victim was really dead.
01:39The mastermind ordered them to throw the video anywhere.
01:45In the statement given by the witness in charge of the QCPD,
01:49the victim was arrested by two armed suspects
01:52at 7 in the morning when the victim left the house of his subdivision in Quezon City.
01:57The QCPD did not arrest the person in charge of the abduction
02:01because it was based on the statement of the witness.
02:06Alias Noli and Alias Mervin were the first to be arrested
02:09after he appeared and was traced by the QCPD
02:13when he withdrew money from the ATM from the victim's account.
02:17It was seen in the CCTV footage that the one who withdrew money from the account
02:22was not his father but the two suspects.
02:27The mastermind who was arrested the next day
02:31was able to contact and meet the two suspects
02:34who were in the vicinity of his subdivision.
02:38We called through messenger to the two suspects
02:42and when they answered, they agreed to meet somewhere here
02:49in a fast food chain in Mandaluyong.
02:52In the investigation of the QCPD,
02:54the mastermind and the victim have known each other for a long time
02:57and the origin of the crime is a fight for land.
03:01All transactions, especially land transactions, are related.
03:05Maybe our victim is also interested.
03:09That's what happened.
03:11The Quezon City Prosecutor's Office has already received the complaint of kidnapping with homicide
03:16filed by the QCPD against the mastermind and alias Noli and Mervin.
03:21I believe that our evidence is strong.
03:24One of our suspects gave his extrajudicial confession
03:29and that means that he is one of the strongest of all
03:35who admitted that they committed the crime.
03:39The QCPD also confirmed in the GMA Integrated News
03:43that there is a witness against the mastermind and alias Noli, alias Mervin.
03:48According to the QCPD, he was just involved in the case.
03:52He thought he was just guarding the farm.
03:54He was just surprised.
03:55Actually, it's a big help.
03:56I think this will be a disaster.
03:59I'm 100% sure that these people will be convicted.
04:01He will do it because he has knowledge in crime.
04:05What he wants is to give the family of the victim a chance.
04:10Alias Mervin did not comment.
04:13As for alias Noli,
04:14I'm really sorry.
04:16The so-called mastermind of the person in front of me earlier
04:19did not comment on this case
04:21including the accusation of the former actress Rochelle Barameda
04:25who was also one of the victims of the murder of her brother, Ruby Rose,
04:31but was later acquitted of the case.
04:34Ruby Rose Barameda was killed,
04:36strangled and cemented on a drum before being thrown in Manila Bay in 2007.
04:41What can you say?
04:42Is that you?
04:43I'm the guardian of the farm.
04:44Yes.
04:45What can you say to the Barameda family that you are still being held here?
04:50I can't say anything.
04:51I'm just a lawyer.
04:52Okay.
04:53Barameda went to the National Bureau of Investigation earlier
04:57to ask for a fingerprint analysis
04:59to confirm his allegation.
