3 nabbed for sales agents’ slay
CAMP VICENTE LIM, Laguna, Philippines — Three men were arrested in connection with the murder of two sales agents in Batangas on Wednesday.
The suspects – identified as Guillermo Endozo, 32; Jojo Sangalang, 35, and Jayson Endozo, 42 – were arrested in a follow-up operation at the boundary of Agoncillo and Laurel towns, according to Maj. Broderick Noprada, Agoncillo police chief.
The suspects were tagged in the killing of Eugene Petil, 37, and James Clerk Sultero, 18, whose remains were found in Barangay Banyaga in Agoncillo on Tuesday.
The bodies bore gunshot wounds, probers said.
Charges of double murder were filed yesterday against the suspects before the Batangas Prosecutor’s Office.
“The target of the assailants was Petil. Guillermo owes Petil money and he wants to silence him. Sultero was collateral damage only,” Noprada said.
Probers recovered bullet shells, phones and a pick-up truck at the crime scene.
