Murder raps filed vs. suspectin
stabbing to death of priest
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

Police have filed a murder complaint against the man who allegedly stabbed dead a priest in Sta. Cruz, Tanjay City in Negros Oriental, just as he was about to offer a fiesta mass in honor of the chapel's patron saint Tuesday.

The murder complaint was filed late Wednesday against Dionisio Tejamo, of Sitio Bomba in Barangay Sta. Cruz, before the Tanjay City Prosecutor's Office.

An inquest was not possible as Tejamo could not appear before the Prosecutor's Office because his attending physician did not allow him to leave the hospital in Dumaguete as he still needs orthopedic cast for his leg wounds, the police said.

IN DUMAGUETE
IBP condemns slay of lawyer
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

The Integrated Bar of the Philippines Negros Oriental chapter approved a resolution expressing their shock and indignation against persons responsible for the brutal killing of lawyer Ramon Eduardo Elesteria in Bayawan City Tuesday.

Resolution No. 2015-07 of the IBP Negros Oriental chapter, headed by Cyrus Riconalla, reiterates its vehement condemnation to the brutal, dastardly and cowardly acts of shooting and killing members of the legal profession, the latest of whom was Elesteria. Such acts have no proper place in the Philippine society, especially in Negros Oriental, it added.

Unsolved killings of lawyers included that of Judge Orlando Velasco in 2007, Eleazar Casipong, Archer Baldwin Martinez and Manolo Zerna. Three of the lawyers were killed in Bayawan City, one in Dumaguete, and one in Tanjay City.
