Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 29) – The family of Christine Dacera insisted on Friday that a DNA test be carried out on the tissue and organ samples mentioned in the recent medical-legal report of the Philippine National Police that said that the flight attendant died of natural causes and not of rape or homicide. They wanted to determine if the samples cited in the PNP report really belonged to the flight attendant.
“The Dacera family has decided to insist on a DNA examination of all these samples mentioned by Dr. Palmero, of all the organs allegedly examined to be within Christine’s body,” said Dacera family spokesman Brick Reyes in a session informative.
“Nagexamine siya ng (Palmero examined) several specimens of supposed organs taken from the body of Christine daw (supposedly). The Dacera family never gave consent for the samples to be taken. I never knew that samples were taken, so we don’t know that the samples were actually part of the late Christine’s organs, ”Reyes added.
Medico-legal officer Joseph Palmero of the PNP Crime Laboratory medico-legal office, in a January 11 report, ruled out homicide as the cause of Dacera’s death. Palmero said Dacera died of a “ruptured aortic aneurysm,” similar to the autopsy findings of Michael Nick Sarmiento, who was later relieved with three others for his alleged errors in handling Dacera’s case. The report says it examined biopsy samples from 18 organs, including the brain, heart, lungs and kidneys.
The results showed that the 23-year-old flight attendant’s heart weighed 500 grams, more than the normal 300 grams, a finding that “supports Dacera’s seemingly undiagnosed hypertension.”
But the Dacera family spokesman described the finding as “nonsense” and noted that they have a copy of a medical examination that proves that the “cabin crew’s heart is normal.”
“Your enlarged heart is silly for a 23 year old,” Reyes said.
[Translation: The finding that Christine had an enlarged heart is nonsense.]He then reiterated his belief that Dacera was “subjected to some form of violence before she died,” noting that the injuries to Dacera’s legs and arms, as well as her remains, will serve as “probable cause more than enough for it to have occurred. a violation “. “
Reyes also said that they are obtaining a copy of CCTV recordings from the City Garden GRAND Hotel in Poblacion, Makati City, where the hostess was found dead on January 1 after a New Years Eve party with her friends and acquaintances. It is about determining the possible responsibilities of the establishment in the death of Dacera.
“An interesting course of action ngayon (Our current course of action) is to obtain a CCTV copy and determine exactly the responsibilities of the hotel in this particular situation,” he said.
