TUGUEGARAO CITY, Philippines – Police have launched a manhunt for four Aetas tagged in the murder of a farmer in Pamplona town, Cagayan last Friday.
The victim, Eduardo Banglay, reportedly duped the Aetas into selling their property, said Senior Police Officer 3 Elizalde Tagal, case investigator.
Banglay, who was reportedly asked by the suspects to sell a platinum bar, did not return to inform them about the result of the deal.
Tagal said Banglay was found dead with a gunshot wound in the head in Barangay Curva.
The victim reportedly received threats from the suspects before he was killed.
Meanwhile, in the town of Buguey, an alleged police informant was shot dead by motorcycle-riding men.
Town police chief Senior Inspector Saturnino Soriano said security guard Edwin Cepeda received threats before he was killed in Barangay San Juan.
