2 Tarlac teeners hunted for attack

TARLAC CITY — Police are hunting down two teenagers tagged as among the attackers of a 16-year-old son of this city’s vice mayor last week.

Superintendent Tito Bayangos, city police chief, however, refused to identify the two suspects.

Without any apparent provocation, the victim, Amado Benjamin Tañedo, son of Vice Mayor Miguel Tañedo, was stabbed in the shoulder and abdomen while he and his friends were about to play computer games at the Gamepad Computer Shop in Barangay Mabini here.

Taken into police custody were three suspects: Michael Dimatulac, 18; Ronnie Rodriguez, 19; and Jhonny Ryan Maniaol, 21.

Witnesses said the victim’s friends chased the suspects, but Dimatulac pulled out a gun and fired twice into the air. — Benjie Villa
