DOJ holds 7 for questioning in 'middleman's' planned death
Justice Secretary Jesus Cripsin Remulla announced on Saturday that the DOJ is holding seven individuals who have information about the death of Jun Villamor, an alleged middleman in the killing of broadcaster Percy Lapid.
Remulla stated that these individuals will be questioned to confirm that Villamor's death was planned and not accidental or natural.
