Philippine Police: Travellers International negligent in Resorts World Manila deaths

Philippine authorities are finalizing criminal charges against casino operator Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. in connection with the deadly rampage at Resorts World Manila (RWM) that left 38 people, including the gunman, dead.

Manila Times reported the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies is expected to file charges of negligence resulting in multiple homicides against the RWM management.

According to PNP National Capital Region Director Oscar Albayde, three of the victims’ relatives are backing their lawsuit against the casino operator.

Albayde expressed confidence that the PNP have a strong case against RWM, especially after the casino security forces admitted to investigators that they abandoned monitoring of a closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera of the casino and entertainment complex while Jessie Carlos was wreaking havoc on the property before shooting himself dead.
