                    [Summary] => The lawyer of cult leader Ruben Ecleo Jr. has insisted that the court stop conducting hearings of the parricide case filed against him, and clear him of the charges because the prosecution has failed to establish any motive why he would kill his wife.


Orlando Salatandre said the failure of the prosecution to prove motive, being an essential element, the court should grant the demurrer that he had filed, meaning the judge should dismiss the case without the need to hear the defense of the accused.
