Delos Santos was killed in an anti-illegal drugs operation
on Aug. 16. He was found in a fetal position with a gunshot wound to his head.
Police reports stated Delos Santos fired first, which prompted officers to fire
back.
However, based from the CCTV footage and some witnesses show
a young man that is believed to be Delos Santos is being dragged away by two
policemen in civilian clothes.
The Philippine National Police Internal Affairs Service
(IAS) later admitted it was Kian Delos Santos, and those dragging him were
policemen. The three policemen have been identified and the Internal Affairs
Service of the Philippine National Police is looking into possible
administrative charges against them.
