Two Men Killed In Toledo

TWO construction workers were shot dead in barangay Daang-Lungsod, Toledo City, Cebu last Saturday past midnight.

Police identified the fatalities as Mark Dalisay, 19, and Jeffrey Omandac, 21.

She was taken to an abandoned house where she was hogtied and raped.

PO3 Arthur Ariate said the victim was held captive for four days without food. She escaped on January 2 by destroying a portion of the ceiling when Sadaya went out of the house.

The victim was able to ask for help and she was taken to the barangay hall.

Sadaya, who went out looking for the girl, was arrested.
