In his affidavit, the person of interest—identified as alias Mik, 28—said his friends Jelo and JR sexually molested and killed Michaela Mickova.

Mik was arrested in an anti-drug operation on March 14, or two days after Mickova's body was found at an abandoned chapel in Barangay Balabag.

On March 16, charges of violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 were filed against Mik.

He said that while in detention, he was bothered by his conscience about Mickova's death and informed the police that he wanted to give testimony against his friends.
