Department of
Justice (DOJ) Secretary
Leila De Lima on Friday ordered the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to investigate the killing of one of her close-in security, Ali Quintos.
The NBI, which is the Philippines' premier investigating body, is an attached agency of the DOJ.
De Lima said that the killing of Quintos should not be taken for granted.
At present, De Lima said, the motive of the crime has not yet ascertained, adding that, it could not yet be determined whether the incident was a "security threat" to the DOJ Secretary.
De Lima said that they were very "shocked" and saddened by the incident.
Earlier,
De Lima confirmed that Quintos was found dead in San Ildefonso, Bulacan on Friday morning, however, it was possible that his cadaver was merely dumped there and he could have been killed somewhere else.
Quintos was last seen alive on Thursday after escorting De Lima to her residence and before he went home in Antipolo City, Rizal.
