NPA rebels gun down former Army man in Masbate

From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 13): NPA rebels gun down former Army man in Masbate
 
New People’s Army rebels on Sunday morning shot dead a former Philippine Army soldier in Barangay Mahayahay, Cawayan, Masbate, an Army officer said Monday.

Army Captain Marjorie Panesa, public affairs chief of the 9th Infantry Division, identified the victim as Rehuel Suson, 54, a former Army soldier and currently employed as a security guard of a communication cell site in the town.

Panesa said in a text message that the victim was on board his motorcycle and was on his way home to Bangay Mactan at about 7:30 a.m. when he was waylaid by six NPA members.

Suson sustained fatal gunshot wounds in various parts of his body, killing him instantly.

Town police led by Insp. Randy Bachiller immediately responded and recovered the body of the slain security guard.

Police investigators are still determining the motive for the killing while the NPA guerrilla unit in Masbate has yet to issue a statement admitting the killing of Suson.
