In his testimony on 10 March 2011 (Thursday), Dean Cabrera, police medico-legal officer, told the court female victim Cecille Lechonsito may have been sexually abused before she was killed in Maguindanao on 23 November 2009. He found 2 contusions found in her vaginal wall may have resulted from "penetration or contact of a hard object."
On 8 December last year, Cabrera said Rahima Palawan, cousin of Maguindanao Governor Esmael "Toto" Mangudadatu, may have been sexually abused based on swabs obtained from her genitals and underwear on November 25, 2 days after the massacre. The tests showed semen present in the samples, which shows direct evidence of sexual abuse or intercourse.
Cabrera also examined the body of journalist Leah Dalmacio and found traces of semen in her body and her panty liner.
In the Ampatuan town of Maguindanao, 58 people were massacred in what came to be known as the infamous 2009 Maguindanao Massacre.
