MANILA, Philippines - Another convicted killer of Sen. Benigno Aquino Jr. and his military-tagged assassin Rolando Galman has died.
Former Sgt. Rolando de Guzman succumbed to a heart attack last July 8 at the East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City. He was 57.
Chief Public Attorney Persida Acosta said De Guzman’s body will be buried in his hometown in Pangasinan.
De Guzman was one of the soldiers freed from the New Bilibid Prisons in Muntinlupa last Feb. 6 after President Arroyo commuted their sentences.
De Guzman suffered severe hypertension and was hospitalized four times while in prison.
The other convicted soldiers who have already died are former Sergeants Cordova Estello and Mario Lazaga.
Brig. Gen. Luther Custodio, Aviation Security Command chief, died before he could be convicted of the Aquino-Galman murders.
