President Bongbong Marcos on 26 October said he wants police to dig deeper into the cause of death of the alleged middleman in the Percy Lapid murder case.

The Chief Executive pointed out he is "still not satisfied" on the claim that the alleged middleman "died of natural causes, because there are ways to kill a person that do not show up in the medico legal. So, tuloy-tuloy pa ang imbestigasyon. What's more important is to really trace saan nanggaling ito, who gave the order… na gawin ito at bakit."
