Man shot dead for beheading 12-yr-old girl
TUGUEGARAO CITY – A farmer was shot dead by responding authorities in a remote village in a northern town here for refusing to give himself in after beheading his own 12-year-old daughter.
In a report to Senior Superintendent Jude Santos, provincial police director, the Pamplona town police said that one of its operatives was forced to fire at Remegio Dacquigan after reportedly attempting to attack them while they were negotiating for his surrender for beheading his daughter Janette.
Dacquigan, wielding a long sharp bolo and still holding the head of his daughter, reportedly went amuck, creating a commotion in Sitio Malicutoc, Barangay Casitian in Pamplona, Cagayan, prompting barangay officials to rush for police assistance.
Upon their arrival in the said place, the policemen saw Dacquigan going amuck in the community, wielding a long bolo and carrying the head of his daughter, whom he had earlier allegedly beheaded still dripping with fresh blood.
The policemen ordered Dacquigan to give himself in but instead, he reportedly poised to attack them and the village officials accompanying them.
This prompted one of the operatives, identified as SPO3 Cornelio Eduarte Jr. to shoot Dacquigan on the head with his M16 rifle, causing the farmer’s instant death.
