                    [Title] => Ecleo's lawyers ask court to dismiss parricide case
                    [Summary] => Lawyers of Ruben Ecleo Jr. yesterday moved for the dismissal of the case against their celebrated client, claiming that evidence against him were fabricated by the police in a plot allegedly backed by his political enemies who have been out to destroy him.


In their 155-page demurrer to evidence, lawyers Orlando Salatandre and Giovanni Mata argued that Ecleo's political opponents in Surigao del Norte took advantage of the indictment to avenge their defeat in the guise of seeking justice for Ecleo's wife, Alona, who was murdered in 2002.

The purpose of the clarificatory hearing is to help the fiscal determine whether there is probable cause or enough evidence to file a case against Ecleo and Padero in court.


Pedrosa said the investigation will be completed in 45 days.
