NBI files charges against three in TNVS driver Cabrera's killing

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has filed charges against three suspects in the killing of TNVS driver Raymond Cabrera, who was reported missing on May 18.

Cabrera's vehicle was found abandoned two days later in Valenzuela, and the suspects surrendered to authorities on Thursday after weeks in hiding.

The following day, they led investigators to a remote area in Barangay Batitang, Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija, where Cabrera's body was discovered.

NBI Director Jaime Santiago confirmed that Cabrera died from two stab wounds in the chest and revealed that the suspects initially intended only to rob him but escalated fatally when he resisted.

The suspects are now facing charges of complex crime of robbery with homicide, a non-bailable offense, after undergoing inquest proceedings at the Department of Justice on Friday.

Cabrera's remains have been cremated in Tarlac and will be turned over to his family on Monday.
