Eight members of the Navotas police are in trouble after they allegedly tortured two men and forced the victims to confess that they shot dead two people in Barangay Bangkulasi on Nov. 3.
Through their lawyer Cid Stephen Andeza, the victims filed a complaint before the police Internal Affairs Service (IAS) against the suspects for grave misconduct, serious irregularities in the performance of duty, oppression, conduct unbecoming of a police officer and violations of the Anti-Torture Act as well as the Rights of Persons Arrested, Detained or Under Custodial Investigation.
The police personnel - four staff sergeants, a master sergeant, a corporal and two patrolmen - are intelligence operatives and investigators of the Navotas police station.
