Brother of former Ilocos Norte exec killed

BADOC, Ilocos Norte–The brother of former Badoc vice mayor Thomas Torralba was killed by unidentified gunmen in Barangay Alogoog on Friday night (July 15).

Sisenado Torralba was shot in the head at 6:55 p.m. about 6 meters from his residence.

He was pronounced dead by attending physician when he was brought to the Sto. Cristo Milagroso Hospital in Ilocos Sur’s Sinait town, said Senior Insp. Rodelio Santos, acting Badoc police chief.

In June last year, the Ilocos Norte Police Office charged Torralba, his brother Henry and the former vice mayor for possessing unlicensed weapons and illegal drugs in a complaint filed with the Ilocos Norte Prosecutor’s Office.

The charges emanated from a June 15, 2015 police raid on the homes of the Torralba brothers. CDG
