Flight attendant Christine Dacera whose death on New Year’s day has stirred so much controversy was laid to rest in her hometown in General Santos City.

The 23-year-old Dacera was found lifeless in a bathtub in a Makati hotel on January 1 after a night of partying with 11 other men.

The respondents who claim to be her friends said that they tried to revive her and brought her to the Makati Medical Center but she was declared dead on arrival.

An initial medico-legal report concluded that the cause of death was “consistent with ruptured aortic aneurysm,” but the Makati police later said it was a rape-slay case.

The Makati Prosecutor Office ordered the release of three respondents for being detained in Dacera’s case for insufficient evidence.

The Dacera family and the camp of the respondents appealed to President Rodrigo Duterte for fair investigation on the case.
