Murder
suspect probed
for ambush, other crimes
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The man arrested for murder and illegal possession of firearms at a checkpoint in Bindoy town, Wednesday, could also be the one responsible for other unsolved crimes in Oriental Negros, particularly the ambush that killed a barangay captain and six other civilians in La Libertad recently, the police said.
A cross ballistic examination of the .45 pistol caliber
pistol confiscated from suspect Sandalou Mongolore is being used to
determine if the gun had been used in other crimes, including the ambush-slay
in La Libertad. S/Supt. Melvin Ramon Buenafe, police provincial director,
said spent shells from a .45 caliber pistol had been recovered from
the ambush site. Killed in that incident were Aya Barangay Captain Eladio
Baylon, and six others, who were on board a government-owned truck,
when they were fired upon unidentified gunmen.
