The family of Leobert Dasmariñas, one of the two suspects in the Jovelyn Galleno case, has given their statement in an interview about their kin’s admission of the purported crime. According to his mother, while she wouldn’t immediately dismiss as untrue the admission of Leobert, she doesn’t feel the “impact” of the allegations made being the mother of the suspect. The suspect’s younger sister, on the other hand, said she can’t believe the allegations because she knew her “kuya” well. Recently, a skull and skeleton, purportedly belonging to Jovelyn, was discovered by the police right in the location where Dasmariñas said they abandoned the body.

The suspect who admitted to allegedly killing and assaulting Jovelyn Galleno has not been charged with a crime yet. This was according to the Philippine National Police (PNP) in the city. A police officer explained that they do not have the result of the DNA examination yet that would prove that it was indeed the bones of Jovelyn. The process will take a long time but the PNP is also doing everything to expedite the case.
