The Makati prosecutor found no evidence linking the 11 respondents on the death of flight attendant Christine Dacera on New Year’s eve.
In an 11-page resolution issued by Makati Assistant City Prosecutor Joan Bolina-Santillan, the complaint for rape with homicide lodged against the respondents was dismissed for lack of probable cause.
John Pascual dela Serna III, Rommel Galido, John Paul Halili, Gregorio Angelo Rafael de Guzman, Jezreel Rapinan (alias Clark Rapinan), Alain Chen (aliases Valentin Rosales and Val), Mark Anthony Rosales, Reymar Englis, Louie Delima, Jamyr Cunanan and Eduardo Pangilinan III were cleared from the charges.
“The issues raised in this office’s resolution dated Jan. 6, particularly the crime committed and the culpability of each respondent, even at this point, have not been established,” Santillan said in a resolution.
Based on the Philippine National Police medico-legal report, Dacera died of a ruptured aortic aneurysm.
The family of Dacera, on the other hand, insists that the flight attendant was raped and drugged before her death.
