Binuo ang isang special investigation task group (SITG) para mag-imbestiga sa pagpatay sa abogado sa Abra nitong Huwebes, Setyembre 14, ayon kay Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Benjamin Acorda Jr. nitong Biyernes.
"An SITG was created. May mga videos na rin kaming nakuha. So we're just waiting for the result of the investigation," sinabi ni Acorda sa isang press conference.
Nitong Huwebes ay pinagbabaril-patay ng riding in tandem ang abogado na si Maria Saniata Alzate habang nasa loob ng sasakyan pauwi sa kanyang bahay.
Kinondena naman ito ng International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL), at sinabing pinatindi pa ito ng "impunity."
"Whatever the motive and whoever the assailants and masterminds, this merciless murder of a young, principled, and idealistic lawyer is enabled by impunity," saad sa pahayag ng IADL.
"That it happened again against those who push the tide against injustice speaks volumes on the incompetence, negligence, and even complicity of governmental institutions ironically overpopulated by her fellow lawyers," dagdag pa.
"The international legal community has never seen such cold-blooded murders occurring with such frequency and impunity as in other countries where lawyers are also under attack."
