The suspect was turned over by the NBI Laguna office to the NBI 7. on the same day, Peralta and the other suspects were charged with murder before the Cebu City Prosecutor’s Office. NBI 7 Director Rennan Augustus Oliva, identified the other suspects as John Raymond Suarez, of Muntinlupa City, a certain Randy Palpparran, and three “John Does,”. Two of the suspects were identified by witnesses and other evidence. One of the witnesses was Wee’s wife, who identified Peralta and Suarez after seeing their pictures.

The other witnesses were from the rent-a-car establishment where the suspects rented a four-wheel getaway vehicle, a Toyota Vios, and the pension house where the suspects stayed in Cebu.
