Man shot for winning cockfight

-

MANILA, Philippines - A man whose rooster won an illegal cockfight was shot dead, reportedly by the owner of the losing rooster, in Malabon City Friday.

Police said Edgar Bianes, 41, asked the suspect, identified only as Mundo, to pay up after losing the contest, held at a closed dump in Barangay Catmon at around 10:45 a.m.

Mundo, instead of reaching for his wallet, drew a .9mm pistol and reportedly shot Bianes as the victim turned away from him. Bianes suffered a gunshot wound in the back of the head and died on the spot.

Mundo and two unidentified companions fled on foot toward a squatters’ colony on Letre Road in Barangay Tonsuya. Police searched the area but failed to make any arrests.             – Pete Laude
