WATCH: Espina becomes emotional in seeking answers to brutal deaths of 44 SAF men

Philippine National Police officer-in-charge Deputy Director General Leonardo Espina became emotional on Wenesday at a House of Representatives hearing on the Jan. 25 clash that claimed the lives of 44 Special Action Force troopers in Mamasapano, Maguindanao.

Espina said the medico-legal report that detailed how the 44 were killed showed many of his men did not suffer fatal wounds but were shot again at close range.

"We seek for very clear answers from the other party of the peace process. Ano ba itong overkill na ito na ginawa niyo sa mga tao ko?" he said.
