Army condemns killing of militiaman in Toboso

From the Visayan Daily Star (Mar 18): Army condemns killing of militiaman in Toboso

The Army’s 62nd Infantry Battalion yesterday condemned the brutal killing of militiaman Eduardo Laguna in Toboso, Negros Occidental, recently.

Lt. Col. Efren Morados, 62nd IB commander, said Laguna, a member of the Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit, was shot twice in the head by two assailants to ensure his death.

Morados said Laguna, 41, was riding in a motorcycle with SSgt. Alexander Robles, when he was shot in the back, in Brgy. Gen. Luna, Toboso, last week, by two suspected rebel assassins.

Morados identified one of the suspects as a certain Ka Tirso. He said the incident was witnessed by bus passengers, and market-goers.

Four empty shells of .45 caliber and 9mm pistols, and a slug, were recovered at the crime scene.

Morados said Robles tried to chase the two gunmen, but he was advised by some witnesses not to continue, as he might be ambushed by the companions of the suspects.
