MANILA, Philippines - Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said on Wednesday that she will order a reinvestigation into the nearly 20-year-old Vizconde massacre case.
De Lima, however, clarified the reinvestigation is only intended to provide closure to the case, and that gathering more evidence against those accused in the gruesome murders in June 1991 would be futile since they cannot be charged because of the double jeopardy doctrine.
