Councilor Eden Bacordo, his partner Leah Mae Sadoa, and bodyguard Arnold Larida die in the attack
A councilor and two others were shot and killed in Barangay Lopez Jaena, Murcia town on Friday, September 15.
Councilor Eden Bacordo, his partner Leah Mae Sadoa, and bodyguard Arnold Larida died in the attack.
An initial police investigation said the councilor was walking in a sugarcane plantation when he was waylaid by 6 unidentiifed gunmen. Bacordo, however, who was hit on the shoulder, was able to run.
Senior Inspector Ronald Santillan, town police chief, said the councilor then went to the nipa hut, where the other two victims were, when he was cornered by the pursuing suspects.
The assailants then fired at the victims, who died on the spot. The unidentified men then fled on foot.
Police recovered 34 fired bullets of the M16 and garand long firearms variety, as well as two clips and 3 pieces of live ammunition from a garand long firearm from the crime scene.
Santillan said they are still investigating the incident, though they are looking at revenge and love triangle as the motive of the killing.
He said the councilor and bodyguard were tagged in the recent killing of a commander of the Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade in the municipality of Salvador Benedicto.
