The village chief of Kalamtukan in Bayawan City, Negros Oriental and one of his companions were shot dead by suspects believed known to them in that Saturday night.
A report from the Negros Oriental Provincial Police Office (NOPPO) on Sunday identified the slain victims as barangay chairman Johnny Semillano Condez, 47, and Danny Marata Jr.
Condez, Marata Jr., and the latter's father, Danny Sr. were on board a rescue vehicle with two others riding their motorcycles and headed towards Sitio Candollon in Barangay Kalamtukan in search of a wireless network signal at around 7:30 p.m. Saturday when they were shot at, the NOPPO report said.
Initial police investigation revealed that upon reaching the place that had a strong cellular network signal, the barangay chairman disembarked from the vehicle.
Witnesses said they then heard bursts of gunfire that hit Condez and Maratas.
Marata Sr. and Edilito S. Magbanua, one of their other companions, fled towards a nearby sugarcane field for their safety.
Alexis Condez, the son of the barangay captain, arrived later in the area and brought the dead body of his father and that of Marata Jr. to the house of his uncle, Nono Condez in Sitio Tower in Barangay Kalamtukan.
Police Chief M/Sgt. Archer Birjes of the Bayawan City Police Station found out that the victims also sustained hack wounds.
