"That's the order of the DOJ (Department of Justice) secretary to give them no special treatment. Treat them as ordinary criminals," Renan Oliva, director of the National Bureau of Investigation-Central Visayas (NBI-7), said past midnight Saturday, Dec. 20.

Oliva and two other female accused will be detained at the female dormitory of the Lapu-Lapu City Jail. The six male accused will be locked up at the facility's male dormitory.

Discaya, along with her co-accused, was flown to Cebu on Friday evening, Dec. 19. The aircraft that carried her arrived at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) at 6:13 p.m. and was the last to disembark.
