A Quezon City court yesterday sentenced to life imprisonment one of the three detained accused in the 2007 Batasang Pambansa bombing that killed six people, including then Basilan Rep. Wahab Akbar.
In a 19-page decision, Judge Ralph Lee of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 83 found Ikram Indama guilty beyond reasonable doubt of the complex crime of murder with attempted murder.
Aside from life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, the accused was also ordered to pay the six fatalities R205,000 each and the 10 injured persons R95,000 each for damages.
