The Guihulngan Police is continuing its investigation into the killing of a 28-year-old married man by three unidentified young men Saturday afternoon in Barangay Hinakpan, Guihulngan, Oriental Negros.

Police identified the slain man as Raul Navarro, jobless, of Sitio Mandi, Hinakpan.

Reports said Navarro and his wife were on a motorcycle on their way Sitio Hinogpayan, Barangay Balugo in Guihulngan at about 1:30 p.m. when, on reaching the Balugo-Hinakpan crossing, they stopped near a store belonging to Virgie Bandico to drink coffee.

While they were alighting, three young men left the store, approached the couple and, on getting close, pulled out their guns and fired at Navarro, killing him instantly.

The assailants immediately escaped on board two motorcycles heading for Barangay Magsaysay, Guihulngan.

Police recovered three spent shells at the crime scene.

The motive for the killing is still unknown, police said.*RG
