Suspects Randy Nunez and Ralph Medel yesterday said they are remorseful over what they did to American Kevin Fleischauer and his Negrense wife, Lolly Mangilaya, whose bodies they had dumped in a deep well in Brgy. Blumentritt, Murcia, Negros Occidental.

Nunez said he could not sleep well because of the incident while Medel said he regrets what they did, but claimed that they had been getting harsh treatment from the wife of Fleischauer, as workers at their farm.

Nunez claimed that they were fed noodles and canned sardines, and worked without time to rest.moremoremore

Woman shot in Dumaguete
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

A woman was injured in a shooting incident at Lukewright Street in Dumaguete City recently, but she was able to identify her alleged assailant, who was arrested in a follow-up operation.

Supt. Jovito Atanacio, Dumaguete police officer in charge, said Lou Ann Ybañez sustained a gunshot wound in her face but survived the attack and positively identified the suspect as a certain Shaun Ronald Sotto Chiong, alias “Tamoy,” 36, of C. Padilla Street in Cebu City.

A follow-up investigation by personnel of the City Intelligence Division led to the arrest of the suspect at a bingo house in Bagacay, Dumaguete City. He was brought to his rented room at Pamela's pensionne house in Tubod, Barangay Looc, Dumaguete, where assorted illegal drugs paraphernalia, such as improvised tooters, burners, tinfoil, and lighters were found, police records show.moremoremore
