Update on Salilig Case Suspects Investigation & Plea on Charges
SALILIG CASE SUSPECTS – Seven (7) suspects in the death of John Matthew Salilig plead “not guilty” on the charges they are facing.
The family of Adamson University student John Matthew Salilig who died during a fraternity welcoming rites expects a long journey to justice. They are determined to get the justice over the death of their youngest family member.
John Matthew died in February after attending the welcoming rites of the Tau Gamma fraternity-Adamson chapter. His older brother, also a fraternity member, knew about his attendance to the event but he was not worried as Matthew is already a member of the said fraternity in Zamboanga.
However, since he told his older brother about the welcoming rites to be held, John Michael Salilig never heard from John Matthew again. He was missing for 10 days before his lifeless body was found buried in a shallow grave in Cavite.
There were witnesses who claimed that John Matthew fell ill after the welcoming rites but the fratmen refused to bring him to the hospital. Currently, at least seven (7) Salilig case suspects are in the hands of the authorities.
Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, seven (7) Salilig case suspects pleaded not guilty on the charges filed against them. The suspects go with the following alyases:
- alyas Slaughter
- alyas Nike
- alyas Allie
- alyas Loke
- alyas Alcazar
- alyas McCoy
- alyas Sting
The suspects attended the arraignment via video conference and made their plea on the accusation of violating the anti-hazing act of 2018. More updates may be posted soon.
