Villanueva: Senators urge resumption of probe into senseless killing of citizens, including mother-and-son shot dead by police in Tarlac
The senseless killing of a woman and her son by a police officer highlights the prevailing culture of impunity among law enforcement agencies that should never be allowed to persist, senators said on Monday.
Senator Joel Villanueva said he and several senators have sought a public inquiry into the spate of unresolved, unlawful killings of citizens, including doctors, lawyers, journalists, and other advocates in different parts of the country, to break the cycle of violence perpetuated by the culture of impunity.
