A man carrying packets of suspected illegal drugs was shot dead by still unknown gunmen on Wednesday evening in Quezon City.
Samuel Fontivores, 40, was found sprawled on Florentino Street in Barangay Gulod, Novaliches after a woman in the neighborhood heard gunshots.
The woman told policemen that she was inside her home at around 11 p.m. when she heard shots outside her home.
When she came out to investigate, she said she saw the victim already dead from several gunshot wounds.
Police said they found a sachet of suspected “shabu” in the victim’s pockets.
Investigators also recovered five empty 9 mm shells, one slug and a kitchen knife abandoned near the victim’s body.
More than an hour later at 12:45 a.m. of the following day, the body of a man was found with stab wounds in the back along Maximo Viola Street in Barangay Balingasa.
The victim, Jonel Mamarinta, 21, was identified by his mother.
Authorities found the body after a watchman received a call at the barangay hall reporting the discovery.
Masking tape was wrapped around the face of the victim.
Police are still investigating the possible motives for both brutal killings.
