MANILA — The Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 42 has junked the murder charges against former whistleblower and Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office Board Member Sandra Cam, son Marco Martin, and Nelson Cambaya.In a 56-page decision penned by Judge Dinnah Aguila Topacio, the court said they were acquitted &quot;for failure of the prosecution to prove their guilt beyond reasonable doubt.&quot;This is in connection with the murder case filed by the National Bureau of Investigation in 2020 against Cam and her co-accused over the October 2019 killing of former Masbate Vice Mayor Charlie Yuson III in Manila.The court also ordered the police station commanders of San Jose in Biñan, Laguna and Poblacion in Camiling, Tarlac to explain within 5 days why the e-Warrants of Arrest issued against the four other accused — namely Junel Gomez, Bradford Solis, Juanito De Luna, and Rigor Deal Cruz — dated as early as April 26, 2021, have not been returned. The cases against the four other accused, the court said, will be archived pending their arrests. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/04/29/21/sandra-cam-surrenders-to-police-over-murder-case">Sandra Cam surrenders to police over murder case, now under hospital arrest</a></li></ul>Cam&#x27;s legal counsel Atty.
