LOOK BACK: The Dacer-Corbito murder case (Rappler)

The arrest of William Reed, a former cop tagged in the murders, is the latest development in the case that started 23 years ago.

The involvement of some agents of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF) tainted Lacson’s name because he was the task force’s head at the time. In a letter published by Newsbreak, Dacer told the retired general that he wrote so that it cannot be recorded by Lacson or Estrada. In another letter dated June 9, 1999, Dacer listed down names of supposed people behind a demolition job against him. The remains were discovered only after two of the suspects brought authorities to the scene. Reed was among the suspects in the Dacer-Corbito murder case that became sensational during the early 2000s. Another former president was also blamed. This happened several hours after they were snatched from their vehicle in the country’s capital. Dacer, in a separate letter, even said Lacson was “manipulating” Estrada’s mind. Estrada’s camp blamed the late former president Fidel V. And his arrest became the latest development in the 23-year-old case. In 2009, the Dacer family filed a complaint against Lacson, but the former senator was later cleared by the Court of Appeals in 2011. Before the two’s brutal death, Dacer was summoned in Malacañang by Estrada because he was accused of lobbying for the impeachment of the then-president.
