If a co-accused dies during investigation for conspiracy under RA 3019, what should the court do about the motion to terminate?

Grant the motion to terminate

Deny the motion to terminate

In conspiracy under RA 3019, liability is joint among the co-conspirators, so the death of one co-accused during investigation does not wipe out the case against the remaining ones.

Dismiss the case
