CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga, Philippines – Police have launched a manhunt for a retired US Navy man accused of killing his wife and taking his two-year-old son in Barangay Balibago, Angeles City on Thursday.
Enrique Angeles, 57, a resident of Diamond Subdivision, allegedly shot dead his wife Mylene after an altercation, Angeles City police director Senior Superintendent Eden Ugale said in a report to Chief Superintendent Ronald Santos, Police Regional Office-3 officer-in-charge.
