CARMEN, North Cotabato-- Police and military
authorities here have launched a joint manhunt against two men who shot dead an
unarmed soldier in the village
of Kibayao over the
weekend.
Senior Inspector Julius Malucontento, Carmen police chief,
said the suspects in the killing of Corporal Nestor Limbaga of the 37th
Infantry Battalion, have been identified.
"We have launched a joint action with the
military," he said.
Limbaga was driving his motorbike on Saturday heading for
home when two men riding on a separate motorbike shot him from behind.
Malcontento said the suspects fled with the victim's
motorbike. Civilians living nearby the crime scene rushed the victim to the
town center.
He was declared dead on arrival in the hospital.
"This is more of a personal grudge," Malcontento
said of the police investigation result. "But we are looking at other
angles, including robbery."
Limbaga sustained gunshot wounds in the head and body from
cal. 45 pistol.
