LEGAZPI CITY —– A police officer reportedly shot and killed on Sunday, March 19, his wife’s alleged lover in Cabusao town in Camarines Sur province.
Lieutenant Colonel Maria Luisa Calubaquib, spokesperson for the Bicol police, identified the victim as Arlando Sugay, 51, of Barangay Pandan.
In a report, Calubaquib said Staff Sergeant Baltazar Manacob, 43, shot Sugay when he saw him and his wife, Michelle, kissing and caressing each other inside a shanty in Barangay Camagong at 1:54 a.m.
Major Rosalinda Moises, chief of Cabusao police, said authorities arrested Manacob, who surrendered.
“When the responding police arrived at the area, he was still at the crime scene, and he voluntarily surrendered,” Moises said in a phone interview on Monday.
Manacob surrendered his service firearms, three magazines, and 35 rounds of live ammunition.
Moises said they were preparing murder charges against Manacob, who was assigned to the Ragay police station. INQ
