Speaking to ANC on Monday, Siapo said that like Delos Santos, her 19-year-old son was asked to run by her captors but the teen couldn&#x27;t do so because he had club feet. &quot;Nakita ng mga taong totoong may patayang ganyan, &#x27;yung walang kalaban-laban ang pinapatay nila. Nabuhayan ako ng loob. Parang kay Kian, nagkaroon ng justice &#x27;yung mga pinatay,&quot; she said.Siapo, an OFW in Kuwait, learned about the death her son last March 29 via Facebook messenger, with her niece saying,&quot;Tita, Raymart’s gone. Bonnet-wearing men killed him.&quot;The day before Raymart was killed, she said her son was accused before barangay officials of peddling marijuana. The next day, 14 armed men, who her neighbors claimed were cops, abducted her son.The teen was brought to a dark alley in a nearby barangay. Witnesses heard the gunmen telling Raymart to run before he was killed, similar to how Delos Santos was allegedly slain. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/focus/multimedia/slideshow/04/11/17/an-ofw-comes-home-to-this">READ: An OFW comes home to this</a></li></ul>Siapo said she already heard the accounts of what happened from Raymart&#x27;s friend and even neighbors. But these people, she said, are afraid to testify, fearing for their lives. Even the family is still fearful after armed men recently came to the neighborhood looking for their house after Raymart&#x27;s case was mentioned in the Senate hearing on Delos Santos&#x27; killing.A neighbor, she said, told her that these 4 men on 3 motorcycles introduced themselves as policemen. They were all armed but not wearing police uniform. &quot;Nagtatanong daw, &#x27;Nasaan &#x27;yung bahay ni Luzviminda Siapo. Sinabi nila wala na. &#x27;Meron bang kamag-anak silang natira dito?&#x27; Ganyan &#x27;yung mga tanong ta&#x27;s hindi sila nakauniporme. Paanong &#x27;di ka matatakot sa seguridad mo?&quot;Until now, Siapo said the case of Raymart has not yet moved, and neither barangay officials nor the police are helping them. They have not even been provided with security, she added.She said they are willing to testify before the Senate if needed. She hopes that with Delos Santos&#x27; death shedding light on other merciless killings of the drug war, they will also get justice for her son.&quot;Sa totoo lang, noong nakita ko &#x27;yung kay Kian, tapos nakita ko &#x27;yung mga pulis na &#x27;yun, sinabi ko na ang karma talagang napakabilis,&quot; Siapo said.
