The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has started looking into the killing of a security escort of Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to determine if his death was an isolated case or intended to send a message to the Cabinet official.<\/p>\n
NBI Deputy Director for Technical Services Reynaldo Esmeralda said he had dispatched a team to secure the crime scene in Barangay (village) Garlang, San Ildefonso town in Bulacan, where the body of 32-year-old Alistair Quintos was found Friday morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have tasked the team to coordinate closely with the agent in charge in Bulacan to conduct a technical investigation on the circumstances behind the death,\u201d Esmeralda said.<\/p>\n
An autopsy has revealed that Quintos was shot in the left side of the chest at close range, Esmeralda said.<\/p>\n
But what was puzzling, he said, was a \u201cbite mark\u201d on Quintos\u2019 left arm. The body will also be subjected to paraffin testing, the NBI official added.\u2014Jeannette I.
