According to witnesses, Lapid was ordered killed in October 2022 by former Bureau of Corrections chief Gerald Bantag. There are pending warrants of arrest against Bantag, but he remains a fugitive.
Meanwhile, former corrections official Ricardo Zulueta, who allegedly helped Bantag in Mabasa’s murder, died before he could even be brought to court.
