Chief Inspector Zosimo Duyogan testified, in yesterday's hearing of the murder case, that ballistics tests on the spent bullets showed these were fired from a caliber-.45 gun.


He later admitted however he did not examine the supposedly used gun because it was not turned over to him for examination.
