From the Visayan Daily Star (Oct 8, 2020): Ex-militiaman, nephew killed

A former government militiaman and his nephew both died Tuesday, in a shooting incident and grenade explosion in Brgy. Abaca, Cauayan, Negros Occidental.

The two victims were identified by the Cauayan police as Roy Delocario and his nephew, John Rey Delocario, 27.

Police investigation showed that John Rey went to the house of the suspect identified as Renjie Layan in the barangay and challenged him to a fight.

Layan, 18, who was armed with a homemade 12 gauge shotgun, shot John Rey, who died on the spot.

Upon learning of the death of his nephew, Roy, a former member of the Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit, immediately went to the house of the suspect armed with two hand grenades,

When he pulled out the safety pin of one of the grenades Roy accidentally tripped and fell on the ground causing the grenade to explode, killing him instantly, Maj. John Garinganao, Cauayan police chief, yesterday said.

Layan and his family immediately fled from the barangay but the suspect surrendered later to the Cauayan Police Station.

Garinganao also revealed that the elder Delocario used to be a member of the defunct Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade, before joining the CAFGU.

Layan is now detained at the Cauayan police custodian facility.
