2 men charged for ’killing’ woman

Two men were charged with murder before the Regional Trial Court in Cebu City for  the fatal shooting of a woman who was sleeping on a bench outside her residence in barangay Tejero, Cebu City.

The Cebu City Prosecutors’ Office charged  Nano Occor and Aljay Lahaylahay  with murder.

The two were identified  by a   witness as the persons  who shot Lucita Canaway at around 4 a.m. last June 12, 2014.

The witness was   the victim’s live-in partner.

He later retracted the identification, saying he made a mistake and that  two other persons might have shot Canaway.

Prosecutor Simaco Labata, however, said the court will decide on  the witness’ recantation.
