ZAMBOANGA CITY – The police have launched an in-depth investigation to identify the riding in tandem gunmen behind the attempt to kill an elected government official in Zamboanga del Norte, an official said Wednesday.
Maj. Helen Galvez, Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) information officer, identified the victim as Estrella Asman Tayrus, 47, a councilor in Barangay Tinuyop, Leon Postigo town, Zamboanga del Norte, who was shot and wounded around 4 p.m. Tuesday in a hilly area in Sitio Pitogo, Barangay Delusom, in the town.
Galvez said an investigation showed that Tayrus was riding a motorcycle on the way home when shot by one of two men riding tandem on another motorcycle that tailed the victim and her companion.
Tayrus and her companion, who was driving the motorcycle they were riding, just came from the child fund building of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) at the time of the incident, police said.
Tayrus’ companion told the police in Leon Postigo that the riding in tandem suspects turned around and sped after the incident while the barangay official was rushed to the Sindangan District Hospital, according to the police.
Galvez said that all possible motives are being looked into for the speedy solution of the case.
