Gen. Randulf Tuaño said Maj. Peter Camsol was relieved as Tuba police chief based on findings by the Police Regional Office-Cordillera Administrative Region. The regional police office, Tuaño said, found the Tuba police “remiss in securing pieces of evidence” in the conduct of the investigation. Police said Cabral’s family were initially against allowing an autopsy after her body was found in a ravine in Tuba, Benguet on Dec. 18. Dashcam footageTo aid its investigation into Cabral’s death, the NBI appealed to motorists who passed through Kennon Road in Tuba, Benguet on Dec. 18 to come forward with dashcam footage.
