Kaban ni D_BystandeR: NAKAHUYATID NA ANG KASO SA PAGLUTHANG PATAY NI MANLALABAN ARCHIVAL

The snail-paced investigation of the Archival murder case suffered a major setback when the entire Cebu Provincial Prosecutors' Office inhibited themselves from  handling the case. But thanks to the saving efforts exerted by the Regional State Prosecutor who chose Prosecutor Rodrigo Tagaan, who hailed from Lapu-Lapu City, to handle the case and designated him as the Acting Provincial Prosecutor, the case is now getting encouraging development as 3 HPG cops are now indicted after finding probable cause for their involvement in the ambush-slaying of lawyer Noel Archival and two of his close-aides on that fateful day of Feb. 18 when their group inside their car on their way home to Cebu City from Dumaguete City was  treacherously ambushed in barangay Corro, Dalaguete. More than 6 months after the commission of the crime the people are happy, especially the close relatives of the victims, that they are nearing the fulfillment of their objective to see to it that the murderers are convicted and meted out a punishment they deserved. Special mention was made to offer thanks to the courageous efforts exerted by NBI Region 7 officials who spearheaded the solution of the crime, and also to the other police agencies who contributed help for the discovery of the suspects.It was a complicated task and it was like "finding a needle from a haystack."
