Police facing blank wall on slay of Panitan village chief
ROXAS CITY – Police in Panitan are still facing a blank wall as to the identity of the suspects in the killing of Quios Bgry. Captain Rolando Besorio who was gunned down in broad daylight in Sitio Bocboc, Quios, Panitan, Capiz last Tuesday noon.
Besorio succumbed to three gunshot wounds on his head. He was declared dead on arrival at Bailan District Hospital.
Wednesday last week, the Philippine National Police (PNP) provincial office led by Provincial Director Sr. Supt. Josephus Angan, formed Task Force Quios to solve and identify perpetrators in the killing of Besorio.
Mrs. Aurora Deocampo, one of the witnesses who was a companion of the victim during the time, said that the two suspects who were riding at the single motorcycle overtook them upon reaching the crossing in Sitio Bocboc then fired shots toward the victim.
According to Deocampo, the victim was driving a yellow multi-cab issued by the 1st District Cong. Antonio del Rosario for the barangay when the incident happened.
Mrs. Nejelia Besorio, wife of the slain barangay captain, said that her husband left their house around 8 a.m. going to the municipal hall where he solicited for the fiesta. He was ambushed while on the way home.
Besorio, being number one kagawad, replaced Brgy. Captain Dante Del Mindo who was killed in an ambush last February 26, 2009 during a benefit dance at Sitio Bocboc, Quios, Panitan, Capiz.
