Naval/Biliran - More or less 20 years ago the brutal murder of Antonio Villo were remembered when he was whack and smashed to death by his known-assailants. He beg for his life and screamed for help however, the assailants never give mercy for unknown reasons and nobody rescued him even his brother heard the commotion outside their residence.
Anthony came home from a drinking spree not knowing that there was an earlier fight ensued by the member of his fraternity in his neighbor’s vicinity. When the other group came back to take revenge against the group of Anthony’s neighbor whose members of his fraternity, he was mistaken as one of them. He was mercilessly attacked. During the attacked, one member of the attacking group was also seriously hurt and landed in the nearby hospital.
He was brutally attacked and bit to death by more or less four known-culprits. His body was dragged for about 50 meters away from his residence. The following morning his parents were shocked to discovered his motionless body. The extreme violence of the attack is indicative of the cruelty of the perpetrators which one of them was a judge’s brother. Another brother of a policeman was in the scene when the crime was committed.
The suspects were identified however all of them were set free without bringing them to court. The murder charge against the culprits was not heard due to victim’s financial incapacity. The court case was closed without fair trial but cut-pain of the incident is still fresh.
The death of Anthony is one of a milestone of Naval Biliran injustice system while the victims cannot hire legal representative because of financial incapability. And it was equally known that Philippine justice system is generally inadequate, incompetent and hopeless how much more in the Biliran province, the report said.-naval-
