Cop killed in Cavite

BACOOR, Cavite — A member of the Western Police District (WPD) patrol bureau was found dead yesterday morning inside his van parked along a national road in Barangay Molino here.

Senior Inspector Alberto Capua, Bacoor police chief, said the victim, P02 Stephen Martinez, had a busted skull due to gunshot wounds.

He said Martinez was earning extra income as a driver of the van which plied the Molino-Lawton route.

Capua suspects that personal grudge motivated the killing, saying Martinez had been receiving death threats.

In fact, the police blotter showed that last Oct. 28, Martinez reported that somebody had threatened to kill him. Rene Alviar
