A SUSPENDED prison chief should face allegations of his involvement in the murder of a local broadcaster in court instead of answering them in media interviews, the national police chief said on Monday.

“We base the charges against the suspects on the evidence, circumstances and statements given by the witnesses,” national police chief Rodolfo S. Azurin, Jr. said in mixed Filipino and English at a livestreamed briefing.

Suspended Bureau of Corrections Director General Gerald Q. Bantag told several television interviews on Nov. 11 that he is ready to face a murder complaint in relation to the killing of radio journalist Percival C. Mabasa. The alleged gunman surrendered to authorities on Oct. 18, claiming he and three other cohorts had been hired by someone inside the national penitentiary

The National Bureau of Investigation’s initial autopsy report showed that the man did not show any signs of external injury.
