New People's Army (NPA) members gunned down a "habal-habal" (motorcycle-for-hire) driver who was on his way home with his wife in Barangay San Vicente, Cawayan,
A police report identified the victim who died on the spot as Vicente Maquilan, 35, a resident of the village.
It said Maquilan and wife Maricel were on their way home when the suspects armed with M-16 armalite rifles stopped them, asked Maricel to step down from the motorcycle and executed the victim, who sustained gunshot wounds on his head and body.
The communist dissidents casually walked away from the crime scene, leaving Maquilan’s dead body sprawled on the road shoulder.
Maricel immediately asked for help from the residents of the place to bring the victim’s body to the Cawayan Rural Health Unit for autopsy.
Police said the NPA rebels suspected Maquilan of being a military and police asset who allegedly supplied information on the activities of the rebel in their area.
His wife, however, denied the accusation, adding that Maquilan was just a simple habal-habal driver from where he got his income for the expenses of his family, especially for their young children.
