If you aren't GUILTY, why are you not cooperating in the investigation? 😡😡

Bastos talaga. Parang guilty. The boyfriend, Niel Spencer Tiu, of the 19-year-old woman who died of the suspected party drug overdose has been uncooperative in the investigation, police said.

Chief Supt. Debold Sinas, chief of the Philippine National Police Regional Office 7 (Central Visayas), said investigators have invited Ashley Abad’s boyfriend to help shed light on the incident but the man did not show up in the police station.

If Ashley Abad’s boyfriend will continue to refuse to cooperate with the police, he will be treated as a suspect in the death of the 19-year-old student.



Sinas said they have tried to reach the ‘boyfriend’ of Abad who was present in the party along with five other friends of the victim, all of whom are considered ‘persons of interest’ in the case.

The Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) has already requested the boyfriend to give his statement about the incident and help in the investigation.



However, Sinas said the boyfriend has become uncooperative and has insisted that he would only give his statement if there is a court order.

“Walay problema sa amoa. We have other means. If dili siya mo cooperate, then we’ll treat him as a suspect later on,” said Sinas.

[Translation: "It's no problem for us. We have other means. If he does not cooperate, then we'll treat him as a suspect later on]



“If wala silay gitago, ngano man dili sila mag cooperate?” asked Sinas.

[Translation: "If they have nothing to hide, then why aren't they cooperating?]

Sinas said he received reports that the boyfriend was allegedly knowlegeable about party drugs, which was rumored to have caused Ashley’s death.



Sinas also gave the same warnings to the friends of Abad who were invited by the police to cooperate in the investigation.

He urged them to simply cooperate in order to help solve the case, otherwise, they, too, will also be treated like suspects.
