In his signed affidavit, Lt. Col Mendoza revealed that former PCSO GM, retired Col. Royina Garma, and Napolcom Commissioner, former police Col. Edilberto Leonardo, as the masterminds of the killing.

"Sa kabila ng aking pag-a-alinlangan na tanggapin ang utos na ito sa kadahilanang isang opisyal ng gobyerno ang aming target, ako ay napilitan na lang na sumang-ayon at sumunod dahil ang utos ay mula sa isang nakatataas na opisyal at upperclassman ko na si Police Col. Leonardo, at ang utos ay galing mismo sa isang opisyal ng gabinete na si Ma’am Royina Garma," Mendoza said, reading from his affidavit.

Under intense questioning from congressmen, the police officer detailed how Col. Leonardo, who is his upper classman in the Philippine National Police Academy, ordered him to execute an operation against Barayuga, whom Mendoza said has links to the illegal drug trade as per information from Leonardo.
