MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Justice on Monday said Hubert Webb and his former co-accused will still be investigated in the re-investigation of the 1991 Vizconde massacre despite being acquitted by the Supreme Court.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said Webb et al can no longer being tried for the same crime consistent with the doctrine of double jeopardy.
She said their inclusion in the reinvestigation is an effort to bring closure to the case and find out who really killed Carmela Vizconde and 2 others on June 30,1991.
“There are already teams created and they are moving now, 3 teams each from [Philippine National Police] and National Bureau of Investigation and focusing on three sets of suspects: the Barroso Akyat Bahay gang, the second set of suspects yung construction workers, and then Hubert Webb et al. So Hubert Webb et al kasama pa rin sa reinvestigation,” De Lima told reporters in Malacañang.
