Cavite cop found dead

CAMP VICENTE LIM, Laguna — A Cavite policeman assigned to the Capitol detachment was found dead with five gunshot wounds in a grassy lot in Barangay Queensrow in Bacoor, Cavite last Saturday morning.

Senior Superintendent Benjarde Mantele, Cavite police director, said the body of PO2 Jeremiah Amoranto, 29, a former intelligence agent, was found wrapped in a blanket.

Mantele denied reports that Amoranto was a police escort of Cavite Gov. Ireneo "Ayong" Maliksi as some reports claimed.

Amoranto was shot in the forehead, middle of the eyes, chin and shoulder. — Arnell Ozaeta, Ed Amoroso
