ATIMONAN, Quezon - Environmentalist Tirso Lontok Jr. stepped out of the second vehicle, hands raised. A companion also got off, raising his hands. If they were thinking that following orders to get off would save their lives, they were wrong. Gunfire ripped the air and they fell into a roadside canal, dead.
Two witnesses described to government investigators how the two men were cut down after policemen and Army Special Forces raked the first vehicle with gunfire.
With Justice Secretary Leila de Lima and National Bureau of Investigation officials watching, the two witnesses, wearing masks for security, helped the investigators on Thursday in reenacting the events of Jan. 6 that led to the gunslaying of 13 people, including Lontok, on a stretch of Maharlika Highway in Atimonan town, Quezon province.
"They are eyewitnesses. They actually saw what really happened. They witnessed almost the entire incident so we believe this is what really happened," De Lima told reporters on the roadside after the reenactment. "This is a big breakthrough."
De Lima described the two witnesses as "neutral," meaning they were neither police nor soldiers. They were there on that Sunday afternoon and saw the killings that local and regional police officials wanted the public to believe was a "shootout" between a combined police and military security force and a group of criminals led by Victor "Vic" Siman, alleged operator of the numbers racket "jueteng" in southern Luzon.
