The Senate committee on public order and dangerous drugs, led by senator Panfilo Lacson, launched a probe into the slay of the 17-year-old high school student during an anti-drug operation of Caloocan City policemen on August 16.
Cops who killed the boy claimed that Delos Santos fought back, which was contrary to some witnesses鈥� statements that he was 鈥渕auled鈥� by the cops and that no gun fight ensued between the boy and the cops.
A closed circuit television footage also showed two cops dragging a boy, while听autopsy results conducted upon the request of Delos Santos鈥� family revealed two gun shot wounds to his head head and one at his back.
Callamard, an official from Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, has consistently criticized Duterte鈥檚 brutal drug war, which ended thousands of lives since last year.听JE
