The Special Investigation Task Group created by Police Regional Office (PRO)-6 will ask the court to issue the warrant to enable the PRO-6 Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit (RACU) to access his mobile phone and find out what transpired between him and the victims before the incident.

While Parohinog tested negative in the paraffin test, police are still looking at him as information has come out that there was a business conflict and Parohinog allegedly owed Bosque money.

Parohinog, who was unhurt, had earlier claimed that their vehicle was stopped and unknown gunmen killed his three friends and associates John Paul “JP” Bosque, Chrysler Floyd Fernandes, and Mark Clarence Libao.

Senior Master Sgt. Francisco Lindero Jr., SITG spokesperson, said they are awaiting results of the luminol test from the two possible crime scenes in Estancia.

The SITG surmised that the killings happened somewhere else and not at the area where it was happened.
