A 32-YEAR-OLD habal-habal driver was shot dead by motorcycle-riding assailants in barangay Poblacion Ward 1, Minglanilla town, southern Cebu last Friday evening.

Roldan Caparas was shot in the head. He was declared dead when he was brought to the Minglanilla District Hospital.

PO1 Wilmer Campo, desk officer of Minglanilla Police Sation, said the victim had just parked in an area where habal-habal drivers wait for passengers when two men on a motorcycle arrived and started firing.

The assailants fled toward Talisay City.

An empty shell of a .45 caliber pistol was recovered from the crime scene.

Police are still investigating the motive behind the attack.

A 62-YEAR-OLD fisherman was found hanging by the neck in his house in barangay Tulay, Minglanilla town, southern Cebu.

Police said Jose Renegado had been from suffering from diabetes.

The ailment may have pushed the man to commit suicide, police said.

Renegado lived alone in his house after he and his wife separated.

PO2 Nikki Carlo Plarisan, desk officer of Minglanilla Police Station said the man’s cousin found him suspended from the ceiling of his house with an electric cord tied around his neck.
