Charges of rape with homicide lodged against Dacera's companions were junked for lack of probable cause, an April 23 resolution by Makati Assistant City Prosecutor Joan Bolina-Santillan showed.

"This office finds that the evidence presented are insufficient to engender a well-founded belief that rape, homicide, or rape with homicide has been committed," the resolution stated.

Dacera was found dead in the bathtub of a hotel room she shared with her friends on Jan. 1, after a night of partying where her parents claimed that she was drugged. Her companions denied the charge.
