Police didn’t find any identification card on the victims as only cash was recovered from the two.
Both had gunshot wounds in the head and in other parts of the body.
Personnel from the Scene of Crime Operatives recovered 15 empty shells and two slugs from a 9mm pistol.
Ernesto Repaso, a barangay tanod of Barangay Mambaling, told CDN Digital that they received the alarm from two men on a motorcycle who passed the area where the bodies were found. They then reported the incident to the police.
Talosig said no witnesses have come out as of press time and added that it would be difficult to find witnesses since there are no establishments around the area and only a few vehicles pass there during that time of the day.
Police said they will investigate further the incident to find out who was responsible for the killing. /bmjo
