Dear Sir,

Yes these 3 can file a case of Defamation case, but they need to prove in court that the defendant said or wrote the statements against them; the statements are not true; the statements caused harm to them, by damaging their reputation; other people heard or read the statements made against them.

Make copies of the statements made against them and collect proof that the defendant is the one who made the statements.
Gather documentation of the harm they have suffered -- this includes proof of how people treat them and harm to their business.
Obtain written statements of witnesses (third parties) who either heard or read the defamatory statements made by the defendant.
