Spiritual leader runs amok, dies in fire
CAMP VICENTE LIM, Laguna, Philippines – A 59-year-old spiritual leader and former soldier died of suffocation after running amok and setting a house on fire in Dasmariñas, Cavite last Friday night, police said.
According to reports, gunshots were heard and then a fire broke out in a house that the group of Rafael Policarpio used as worship venue in San Marino Subdivision.
