Police files anti-hazing raps vs six frat members for death of ... (INQUIRER.net)

The Biñan Police on Thursday filed before the DOJ a case for violations of the Anti-Hazing Law against six members of the Tau Gamma Phi.

Because of signing the waiver, Biñan City Police Chief Virgilio Jopia said they will remain under police custody. He was slapped with a case for obstruction of justice after his family refused to turnover the vehicle for investigation. The father of the owner of the vehicle used to transport Salilig’s body no longer opted for a preliminary investigation. Of the six, he said one was the first to surface before the Manila Police and identified the participants in the initiation rites while another one showed the authorities where the body was dumped. Initially, the six were supposed to undergo an inquest proceeding, a summary procedure to determine whether an individual arrested without a warrant will be released on account of a dismissal of charges, released for further preliminary investigation proceedings, or charged in court. Biñan City Police Chief Virgilio Jopia said the complainants in the case are the victim’s brother and a hazing survivor.
