(Eagle News)–The number of suspects in the death of Philippine Military Academy cadet Darwin Dormitorio has now reached six.
The new suspect is reportedly a 2nd Class cadet.
Earlier, authorities said two suspects, who were not identified, were added to the initial list of suspects– Cadet 1st Class Axl Rey Sanopao and Cadets 3rd Class Felix Lumbag Jr. and Shalimar Imperial.
Dormitorio was found unconscious inside a room in Mayo Hall Annex in Fort del Pilar in Baguio on Wednesday, Sept. 18.
He was rushed to the hospital where he died.
The Philippine National Police has said based on an autopsy on his body, Dormitorio died due to internal injuries sustained from hazing rites.
The Department of Justice has ordered the National Bureau of Investigation to probe his death, which came even after a strengthened antihazing law following the death of University of Sto. Tomas law freshman Horacio Castillo III allegedly during Aegis Juris fraternity rites in 2017.
