Another policeman was killed Wednesday night by riding-in-tandem suspects in front of his residence in Brgy. 2, EB Magalona, Negros Occidental, in what the police said was triggered by old grudges.
Senior Police Officer 4 Roger Canete, 55, succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds that included fatal injuries in the head. He was declared dead on arrival at the Teresita Lopez Jalandoni Provincial Hospital in Silay City, Senior Supt. Milko Lirazan, provincial police director, said.
Immediate coordination made by the EB Magalona police headed by Senior Inspector Conrado Rances III with neighboring police units led to the identification of the suspect, based on the accounts of witnesses.
