Tingnan na lang po natin kung anong kalalabasan ng mga information na nakalap po ng kapulisan,&quot; Southern Police District Director Tomas Apolinario told radio DZMM.[JR gave information to the Makati police before he died. We should just wait for what could come out of the information collected by our police.]Lauren was <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/07/21/16/babae-patay-sa-pamamaril-sa-makati">killed by a fellow jeepney passenger</a> in Makati City last July.Petronio, who was following up his sister&#x27;s murder with the police, was <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/26/16/rosales-siblings-brother-pursuing-slain-sisters-case-shot-dead">gunned down</a> in Barangay San Antonio Village, Makati City while waiting for a ride home last Wednesday.Apolinario reiterated that motive for their murders may have in fact been personal, although he refused to provide more details on the ongoing probe of a police task force assigned to the case.&quot;Iyun po ang lumalabas sa imbestigasyon ng ating mga pulis: may pagka-personal po ang motibo kung bakit nangyari itong ganitong insidente,&quot; he said. &quot;Hindi ko lang po pwede i-discuss ngayon iyung investigation kasi ongoing pa po iyung follow-up ng special investigation task group na binuo namin.&quot;[That is what is coming out in our police investigation: the motive behind this incident seems to be personal. I can&#x27;t discuss the investigation right now because the follow-up operations of our special investigation task group is still ongoing.]<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/28/16/hired-killers-went-after-rosales-siblingspolice">Hired killers went after Rosales siblings–police</a></li></ul><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7vgMyMBgJ-g" width="560"></iframe></figure>The SPD chief, in another exclusive ABS-CBN interview, earlier said the killings were <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/31/16/killing-of-rosales-siblings-not-a-case-of-mistaken-identity-police">not a case of mistaken identity</a> nor related to illegal drugs.&quot;They&#x27;re not even on our drug watchlist,&quot; he said, adding that the siblings may have known the people behind their murders.The SPD has tapped the Philippine National Police&#x27;s Anti-Cybercrime Group to get clues from the siblings&#x27; social media accounts, which he said could be the key to solving the case since burglars had attempted to steal Petronio&#x27;s laptops from his home.The Makati police, Apolinaro said, is also seeking additional information from the Rosales&#x27; friends and relatives.
