Sketches of 3 suspects in cop chief slay bared

By ARMANDO B. FENEQUITO JR.
The Police Regional Office (PRO) 11 has presented cartographic sketches of the three suspects involved in the brutal killing of a police station commander of Maragusan, Compostela Valley Province last week.
Speaking in yesterday’s AFP-PNP Press Corps forum, PRO 11 spokerson Chief Inspector Andrea dela Cerna said although there were two suspects who were seen during the killing of Maragusan Municipal Police Station station commander Chief Inspector Ger Igtanloc
Dela Cerna bared last March 2 that the witnesses have different descriptions on the suspects which was the reason why there are three sketches.
“Coming from the description of the witnesses we generated this three as our rough sketch,” she said.
Dela Cerna said the police have already identified the two suspects but refused to divulge their identities because the investigation is still ongoing. She said that the investigators are hoping that the requirements of the filling of case will be completed within the week.
Last week, Igtanloc was shot at around 7:30 a.m. at the corner of Sobrecarey and Mabini Streets by two men riding a motorcycle.
Dela Cerna said according to a witness, one of the assailants wearing a gray T-shirt, shot the victim several times, causing his immediate death.
“In our initial report the victim sustained 13 gunshot wounds and was declared dead on arrival,” she said.
The assailants fled immediately after the shooting.
Dela Cerna said before the killing, Igtanloc took his child to school. He was shot on his way home.
“Based on our initial information, the victim might have been followed by the suspects from home,” she said.
Dela Cerna said PRO 11 had not received any report that Igtanloc was involved in illegal drugs in the region.
She said according to Tagum City Police Office director Superintendent Lito E. Patay, investigators will deepen their probe into the killing.
Dela Cerna said the last time she talked to Igtanloc, the victim mentioned the liquidation activities of the New People’s Army (NPA).
She, however, said PRO 11 will still wait for the result of the investigation conducted by the Tagum City Police Office.
