The suspects were arrested during a follow-up operation on Saturday, September 28. One of them was identified as Bryan Fernandez who happened to be an ex-convict.

According to investigations from the police, the suspects were passing along Alumnos Street after allegedly joining a spider-fight (kaka in Cebuano) in Brgy. Mambaling late Friday evening.

However, the two men saw Bejec and a female companion along the way, and decided to rob him. They managed to take the victim’s smartphone and cash worth P3,600.

But one of them went back and shot Bejec on the head. The 18-year-old nautical student was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital.

Unfortunately, around 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, he succumbed to the gunshot wounds on his head.

Family and friends of Bejec took to social media to call for justice on his brutal death.
