CABANATUAN CITY, Nueva Ecija, Philippines — Two personnel of the Cabanatuan police were gunned down by unidentified assailants on Friday night.

Reports reaching Col. Rhoderick Campo, acting Nueva Ecija police director, identified the fatalities as S/Sgts. Allan Capinpin and Aries Dichoso, both anti-narcotics operatives.

Initial investigation showed the victims were having a drinking session at the house of Capinpin in Barangay Magsaysay Sur when unidentified men arrived and shot them several times.

The gunmen escaped on a motorcycle toward an unknown direction.

Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar ordered the Central Luzon police to investigate the killing.

“Part of the investigation is to determine the motive and immediate identification of all people behind this,” Eleazar said.

The PNP chief assured the family of the victims that the perpetrators would be brought to justice. – Emmanuel Tupas
