The Hultman - Chapman double murder case

Episode on October 23, 2008 Thursday night after Saksi July 13, 1991 was the night when the lives of the Hultman and Chapman families changed forever. Maureen Hultman and companions Roland John Chapman and Jussi Leino were gunned down by Claudio Teehankee Jr. while they were on their way home in an exclusive village in Makati City. Jussi was gravely wounded in the incident, while Maureen and Roland John died. Three years after the tragic crime, Claudio Teehankee Jr. was convicted for the shooting. He was sentenced with one count of reclusion perpetua (or life imprisonment) for the murder of Hultman, and two counts of reclusion temporal for the cases of Leino and Chapman. This Thursday, Case Unclosed revisits the shocking story as investigators, witnesses and lawyers retell what happened on that tragic night. What provoked Teehankee Jr. to shoot Maureen, Jussi and Roland John? How did Jussi survive the shooting? How were they able to prove that Teehankee Jr. was the gunman? Just recently, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo released an executive clemency order for Claudio Teehankee Jr. The controversial pardon triggered vehement reactions from several groups, including the Sweden-based Hultman family, who claims that some processes in the release were not followed. Was the pardon for Teehankee really justified? Under the direction of award-winning indie filmmaker Raya Martin, join Kara David as she re-examines the Hultman-Chapman Double Murder in Case Unclosed, airing this Thursday after the late night newscast Saksi.
