+ December 11, 2020 THE brains behind the murder of lawyer Joey Luis Wee could be someone who is “powerful and influential.”
This was the theory of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) 7 after its investigators found out that the alleged killers were flown in and out of Cebu despite the strict quarantine protocol brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.
NBI 7 Director Rennan Augustus Oliva said someone financed the suspects’ transportation.
“Definitely, there is a financier. It is an expensive trip because they came from Luzon,” he said.
Believing Wee’s murder on Nov. 23, 2020, was related to his job, the investigators will determine which case that led the victim to his death, said Oliva, a lawyer.
