Motorcycle-riding gunmen kill Sulu town treasurer

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 14): Motorcycle-riding gunmen kill Sulu town treasurer

Government authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to establish identities of the riding in tandem gunmen behind the killing Monday of a town treasurer in Sulu.

Repeatedly shot and killed was Arsenio Marzo, 58, the OIC-treasurer of the municipality of Maimbung, Sulu.

Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado, Joint Task Group Sulu commander, said Marzo was shot around 7 a.m. Monday in Sitio Barrio, Barangay Asturias, Jolo, the capital town of Sulu.

Arrojado said Marzo was just standing in the area when two men riding tandem on a motorcycle arrived and open fire.

Arrojado said Marzo was rushed to the Sulu Provincial Hospital but was declared dead on arrival by the attending physician.

He said military and policemen conducted pursuit operations but the suspects were already gone.

He said all possible motives behind the incident are being looked into aimed at unmasking the identities of the gunmen.
