The three men arrested for the hotel death of a flight attendant in the Philippines were released from custody Wednesday — as prosecutors slammed the lack of proof that she had been raped or murdered.
The trio — the only ones arrested out of 11 charged for Christine Angelica Dacera’s death after a New Year’s Eve party in her hotel — were released as prosecutors threw the case back to Makati City, which had prematurely ruled it a “solved case,” CNN said.
Prosecutors insisted that “the pieces of evidence so far submitted are insufficient to establish that she was sexually assaulted or raped” — and if so, which of the group partying with her were responsible, with many of the 11 saying they are gay.
They also insisted that even if the 23-year-old Filipino attendant had been raped, cops had yet to show that it caused her death after she was found unconscious in her room’s empty bathtub on Jan. 1.
