KINONDENA ng Palasyo ang panggagahasa at pagpatay sa 1-anyos na batang lalaki sa abandonadong gusali sa Makati City.
“We condemn in the strongest terms the barbaric rape and murder of a one-year-old boy in Makati,” sabi ni Presidential Spokesperson at Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo.
Idinagdag ni Panelo na nagpahayag din ng galit si Pangulong Duterte matapos makarating ang ulat sa kanya.
“The tragic news has reached the attention of the President and he, like all Filipinos, has been extremely outraged by this heinous criminal act,” sabi ni Panelo.
Tiniyak ni Panelo ang hustisya para sa biktima at kanyang pamilya.
“Given the atrocity of this felony, investigation is also being undertaken to determine whether the suspect is under the influence of drugs,” dagdag ni Panelo.
Sinakay ng suspek na si Gerald Reparip, 28, ang biktima hanggang mamatay ang bago ginahasa Martes ng gabi.
“We assure everyone that authorities will leave no stone unturned to give justice to the young boy and his family,” aayon pa kay Panelo.
