MANILA – Retired Court of Appeals (CA) associate justice Normandie B. Pizarro was shot in the back of his head, investigators said Wednesday, even as a special task force will conduct a fresh examination of the late magistrate’s car.

Deputy Director Ferdinand Lavin, National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) spokesman, said the special task force for the Pizarro case will be going back to San Simon, Pampanga where Pizarro’s Honda sedan was recovered last October.

“Where the body was recovered is a crime scene (and) where the car was recovered is also a crime scene,” Lavin said, adding that “agents with forensic chemists will do another round of forensic investigation on the car.”

Lavin said the post mortem examination of the remains later proven in DNA testing to be that of Pizarro showed that “he was shot from the back of the right ear and exited on the upper left portion of head.”

Pizarro’s remains were found in Capas, Tarlac last Oct. 30.

The NBI forensic chemistry division report showed a 99.

99 percent DNA match.

• He was last seen alive at a casino in Clark on Oct. 23.
