Farmer killed
A FARMER was shot dead during a drinking spree in barangay Lusaran, a mountain barangay of Cebu City, Sunday afternoon.
Temoteo Puebla, 49, was with his friend and wife when he was shot allegedly by Ryan Doncillo who was with an unidentified companion.
Puebla was shot several times in the body.
PO2 Nilo Aventurado, homicide investigator, said the attack may be related to the 1996 shooting incident where Puebla was shot by Doncillo’s elder brother.
Puebla survived the attack but Doncillo’s brother was jailed because of the attack.
Aventurado said because of the incident, Doncillo may have held a grudge against Puebla. /Correspondent Chito O. ARagon
