Initial autopsy examinations on the female victims of the Nov. 23 Maguindanao massacre have remained inconclusive of rape, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said on Sunday.
The autopsy examinations also showed that some of the 57 massacre victims were shot at close range.NBI regional director Ricardo Diaz said that there was a need for a DNA test on the female victims to determine they were indeed raped.Diaz, also chief of Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) and concurrent spokesman for Maguindanao massacre, said the NBI medical team examined 20 bodies while the Philippine National Police (PNP) took the rest of the victims.He said six of the victims were shot at close range and there were slugs found at the crime scene.The autopsy also aimed to determine if the female-victims of Nov. 23 massacre were indeed raped, he said.He said the initial test conducted on the female victims were inconclusive.About 20 bodies were processed by NBI medical team. The Mangudadatu women were also processed by NBI and six of the 20 were shot at close range, he said.He also said that some of the female-victims had lacerations in their hymen.Meanwhile, the NBI and the PNP continued to study the present behavior of Andal Ampatuan Jr, the prime suspect in the Maguindanao massacre.Diaz said Ampatuan Jr. seemed restless and had a hard time sleeping because probably he was afraid of ghosts. Ampatuan preferred to sleep outside his detention and stayed most of the time near the visitors area, he said.He slept on the bench just near the visitors area. He was afraid of ghosts. He slept on the bench and he wrapped himself with a comforter. There is an electric fan near him because he feel hot, said Diaz.The NBI jail is heavily secured and barb wires separate the jail from visitors area.He has a lawyer working 24 hours by shift. But the lawyers are only staying at the visitors area, Diaz said.Diaz also said Ampatuan had rejected food sent to him from those claiming to be his relatives. May food which supposedly come from an uncle whom he did not know. He dont eat that. It his right and he said there is threat against his life, Diaz said.Based on the result of the drug test conducted on Ampatuan on Friday showed that no trace of drugs was found. However, the NBI said it does not mean that Ampatuan did not take drugs as traces usually lost after 40 hours from the time of the consumption of such.However, urine test (Benzodiazepine) found traces of Rivotril and the NBI said Ampatuan admitted that he was taking Rivotril, a sleeping pill.
