Paraffin test on Failon negative, result still inconclusive
MANILA, Philippines â Police authorities on Thursday said the paraffin test on news anchorman Ted Failon (Teodoro Etong) yielded negative result, but clarified that this is not yet conclusive. The paraffin test on Failon was conducted in connection with the shooting of his wife Trinidad in their house in Quezon City Wednesday. âYung paraffin test kay Ted Failon yielded negative but it is not yet conclusive," said National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) head Chief Superintendent Roberto Rosales in a press conference at Camp Katingal in Quezon City. Rosales said that they are still gathering pieces of evidence to determine the nature of Trinidadâs shooting. He also said that the note supposedly written by Trinidad is not necessarily a suicide note. âItâs a sorry note." He added that they are still investigating whether it was Trinidad herself who wrote the note, which read: âPapa, Iâm so sorry. Gustung-gusto ko ang magsabi sa iyo ng totoo pero hindi ko po alam kung paano uumpisahan. Sobrang takut na takot ako. Umalis muna ako, kasi hindi ko kaya at nahihiya akong humarap sa iyo. Sana po mapatawad mo ako, papa. Sorry, sorry papa â Mama." [Papa, Iâm so sorry. I really want to tell you the truth but I donât know where to start. I am so scared. I left home because I cannot take it anymore and I donât think I can face you. I hope you can forgive me, papa. Sorry, sorry papa â Mama.] Asked whether the police would file a case against Failon, Rosales said," After we examine the pieces of evidence, thatâs the time you will be able to build or not. We have to wait for the final resultsâ¦." Rosales also assured that the investigation would be fair and would follow due process. âWalang sacred cow [There will be no sacred cow in the investigation]. I would like to emphasize that we would treat this case just like any other case," Rosales said. - Sophia Dedace, GMANews.TV
