CEBU, Philippines - A 49-year-old woman who was playing a card game with her friends was shot by two unidentified men in sitio Pagutlan, Lapu-Lapu City last Friday night.

The victim, Leronila Lambojon, married and a resident of Olango Island, died on the spot. She succumbed to two gunshot wounds to her head.

Investigation conducted by the Homicide section of the Lapu-Lapu Police revealed that Lambojon was playing “tong-its” with Allen Aying, 27, Rodel Ragoy, 27, Anita Bensing, 47, and Alice Casillo, 40, around 9:30 p.m. when the suspects arrived and shot her.

Witnesses said the suspects covered their faces with shirts and took the victim’s black belt bag away as they left the place hurriedly. 

Lambojon slumped to the ground as her friends scampered to safety.

As of yesterday, PO2 Lusito Erni admitted they were facing a blank wall and would need to establish, first and foremost, whether the crime was pure robbery or a homicide. Authorities went to Olango Island yesterday to conduct a background check on the victim. —/JMO (FREEMAN)
