Three days earlier, at close to midnight on Thursday, the former barangay captain of Banacao in Bangued town, Robert MIllare, was taken while he was sleeping in a friend's residence. He was later found dead.
Millare, 39, was staying with several other men in a hut owned by a certain Sergio Bersalona. Unidentified men barged into the hut, woke them up, and pointed their guns at the group before they forcibly took Millare, according to a police report.
A few minutes laters, they heard gunshots. Cops found his bloodied body only about half a kilometer away from the hut. They found slugs from a caliber .45 pistol and 5.56 mm revolver.
Police are still investigating the two murders.
