In less than 24 hours, police authorities have arrested three of four suspects who fired shots at lawyer Salvador Solima and wife Verosse Lim Solima.
Ricarte Del Coro, 32, a resident of Barangay Labangon, Cebu City, was caught by homicide investigators of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) in a buy-bust operation conducted by the Punta Princesa police precinct.
Brothers Alvin and Alberto Baluyos Jr., identified as accomplices of the crime, were arrested by homicide investigators of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) in a follow-up operation this morning.
Chief Insp. Henrix Bangcoleta, Punta Princesa precinct commander, said they were able to confiscate suspected shabu and a .38 revolver from Del Coro.
Bangcoleta said a witness pointed Del Coro as one of the suspects of killing Solima and his wife.
However, police had yet to arrest the fourth suspect of the killing of Solima. Solima and his wife were shot inside their house at Singson Village, Barangay Guadalupe, Cebu City on Monday evening (July 2).
Solima was declared dead an hour after the incident while his wife was critically injured in the head.
