NPA rebels abduct, execute 2 fishermen

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 31): NPA rebels abduct, execute 2 fishermen 

New People's Army (NPA) rebels abducted and shot dead two fishermen who they suspected of being involved in a series of robbery cases in their place in Sitio Colorado, Barangay Tigbao, Aroroy, Masbate Friday morning.

A police report identified the victims as Donel Arizobal, 29, and Roland Tupaz, of legal age -- both fishermen and residents of the village.

Arizobal and Tupaz were reportedly forcibly taken from their respective residences at about 5:30 a.m. by about 20 armed rebels in the presence of their helpless families.

The NPA dissidents tied their hands and took them to a secluded place in the village where they were gunned down.

After the execution, they left a note on one of the dead bodies, explaining why they killed the two fishermen.

The police report said the rebels claimed that they two were involved in robbery incidents in their locality, with Arizobal even facing C. C. No. 16085 before a court for robbery.

Earlier, residents had been complaining of robbery cases in their village whose victims were mostly small fishermen.

The bodies of the two victims were brought to the funeral parlor for autopsy.
