The National Bureau of Investigation 11 (NBI) submitted on Monday the result of its investigation on the murder of businesswoman Yvonette “Yvonne” Chua Plaza to the Special Investigation Task Group (SITG), according to an NBI 11 official.
“We will submit today the updates of our investigation to the SITG,” Lawyer Arcelito Albao, director of the National Bureau of Investigation NBI-South Eastern Mindanao Regional Office (NBI SEMRO 11), told Edge Davao on Monday.
However, Albao said NBI 11 cannot give details on their investigation saying it will only be the SITG that can provide updates regarding the case.
On January 3, 2023, Colonel Alberto Lupaz, director of the Davao City Police Office (DCPO), said the SITG was given two weeks to come up with a result that will lead to the arrest of the suspects.
Regional Director BGen. Benjamin Silo Jr. of the Police Regional Office (PRO 11) vowed to come up with quality and judicious results in their investigation
“We would like to assure the public that we will solve the case and file the case. Just give us ample time. We cannot sacrifice our judicious findings doon sa pagmamadali. We would like to come up with a very quality result from the investigation and we are going to coordinate with the NBI to conduct a parallel investigation. We will be exchanging notes and finding justice for the family of the victim,” Silo said in an interview earlier this month.
Plaza, 38, died on the spot after sustaining gunshot wounds on different parts of her body. She was allegedly shot multiple times by motorcycle-riding men on December 29, 2022, at the gate of her rented house at Purok 18, Buttercup Street of Green Meadows Subdivision in Barangay Sto. Niño, Tugbok district, Davao City.
