A military man accused of killing an ex-convict from Barangay Apas, Cebu City, Thursday night is now in the custody of his immediate superiors at the Central Command (Centcom).

Col. Medel Aguilar, the deputy chief of the Unified Command Staff for Civil Military Operation, said that the soldier whom he did not name will remain in their custody until such time that a warrant is issued for his arrest.
