Police accused of executing su
THE Philippines ordered nine members of an elite police unit to face an inquiry today after they were accused by the human rights commission of executing three men suspected of a bloody bank robbery.
National police chief Avelino Razon also ordered the transfer of the nine police officers to the regional police headquarters in Laguna province while facing the inquiry.
"We will not tolerate any wrongdoing in our organisation,'' Razon told reporters, adding the move to temporarily remove the nine officers from their jobs was to make sure they could not influence the investigation.
The police team was investigating a May 16 bank robbery in Laguna province in which 10 bank employees were killed, most of them lined up and shot in the head.
Last week, police said they shot and killed three of the suspects during a shootout in a raid on their hideout in nearby Batangas province.
But, the head of the government's human rights commission said initial investigations showed there was no shootout at the crime scene, and no bullet marks on the walls of the house where the suspects were holed up.
"There is reasonable certainty to believe that it was a case of a rubout, an out-and-out summary execution of the three men,'' Leila de Lima, the rights body head, told a news conference yesterday.
