Conag: Campo 4 salvage victim used to be a police informant
Police suspect that the killing of Danilo Caño, whose body was found dumped in Sitio Manipis, Barangay Campo 4, Talisay City early on Saturday morning was drug-related.
Chief Superintendent Marlu Conag, chief of the Talisay City Police Station, said that Caño used to be an informant of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) who later on joined the illegal drugs trade.
Caño, 27, is a resident of Barangay Vito in Minglanilla town.
His hands were tied with nylon rope while his face was covered with a cloth when found early on Saturday morning.
Conag said that Caño was discharged of his CCPO connections after he was found to also be offering his services to some drug personalities in southern Cebu.
During their investigation, Conag said they found out that Caño was a member of the group of a certain Ariel “Ladoy” Olyvar who operates in Barangay Maghaway, Talisay City.
Personnel from the Provincial Force Mobile Company (PFMC), the Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) in Talisay, and the Regional Force Mobile Company (RFMC) led by Supt. Jason Villamater engaged in a shootout with Olyvar’s group in a November 24 anti-drug operation in Barangay Maghaway.
Drug suspects Warlito Tecson, Susano Labrador and Vincent Ceballos were killed during the police operation but Olyvar and a certain Jackson Segundino escaped.
