It's exactly eight years since the Maguindanao massacre, but justice remains elusive for families of the victims. Lawyers however say the trial of more than a hundred accused in the massacre will wrap up in the coming months.
The National Police Commission (Napolcom) announced on Wednesday (December 9) that it dismissed from service 21 police officers — and suspended 11 others — for being "co-conspirators" in the so-called Maguindanao massacre in 2009.
Justice remains elusive for families of Maguindanao massacre victims six years after the carnage. Former Justice Secretary Leila de Lima blames state prosecutors for the delay. One lawyer says the case will drag on.
