We have the postmortem reports, we have the autopsy, the ballistic reports. We have complete documents to show what they did. The victims were shot pointblank. One of them was already kneeling, but was still shot, based on the bullet&#x27;s trajectory.)</p><p>Torres said the 8 officers involved in the incident were in the custody of the Sultan Kudarat Provincial Police Station.</p>

The 8 cops allegedly involved in the killing of 3 young men are now in the custody of the Sultan Kudarat Provincial Police Station.
