-versus-
BENDINI, LAMBERT & LOCKE Case No. 118
Respondent.
x x
That on the night of the incident, I was tasked by Mr. Avery Talor, one
of the firm’s leading tax lawyer, to act in lieu of the deceased lawyers
for an appointment with Mr. Holden Cabusas, owner of the DC
Motors, whose tax and accounting concerns is represented by Bendini,
Lambert & Locke.
That on the following day, 28 February 2019, Mr. Talor and I traveled
to Olango Island for the appointment with Mr. Cabusas. After such,
we both proceeded to our respective resort houses. An hour later, I was
requested by Mr. Talor to proceed to his resort house before going on
a night out.
That upon entering Mr. Talor’s resort house, I then proceeded to the
kitchen to grab some drinks while Mr. Talor was busy preparing.
Incidentally, when requested by Mr. Talor to get bourbon from one of
the kitchen’s locked storage, I opened the wrong storage room, then
and there I discovered boxes containing the legal works of the
deceased lawyers. As I perused such boxes, I found out about the
illegal and unethical operation of the firm and its association with the
Moroltos, a drug and crime syndicate in Cebu.
That the day after, I went to the office of Mr. Briones and asked him to
investigate the firm’s illicit transaction. He accepted such request and
proceeded with the investigation. However, on the same day, Mr.
Briones was found dead in his office. The cause of death was a fatal
gunshot in the head. According to a witness, two men were found
leaving the office after such incident.
