MOTOCYCLE-RIDING KILLERS STRIKE AGAIN

BAYAMBANG–Another case of drive-by killing perpetrated by two men on board a motorcycle took place here, claiming the life of a district supervisor of the Department of Education (DepEd).

The victim was identified as Rogelio Cayabyab, 60, who was gunned down at around 5:30 p.m. at the corner of Rizal Avenue and Barangay Zone 7 here Friday.

According to P/Supt. Tommy Cabigas, police chief, Cayabyab was driving his car when the suspects, after having tailed him from the Central School, drove by and fired at him.

A teacher, who was with Cayabyab then, was unhurt.

The police recovered eight empty shells of caliber .45 at the crime scene.

Prior to the killing, Cayabyab, a relative of Cabigas, had told the police chief he had been receiving death threats.

Cabigas said the police are looking at all possible angles but are zeroing in on personal grudge as the motive for the killing. #
