This was among the many questions raised by the grieving mother of suspected assassin Victor Macaldo, who was killed Tuesday in what the police described was an attempted escape.


But Rosita Macaldo, 56, insisted her son neither attempted to attack lawmen nor was he responsible for the assassination of former Manila Councilor Chika Go in Binondo last Aug. 10.
