‘Tau Gamma not linked to Carcar murder’

A RANKING Cebu police official clarified that they have not implicated a particular fraternity in the killing of a mayor’s son.

Senior Supt. Patrocinio Comendador Jr., chief of the Cebu provincial police, made the clarification after the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity issued statements to the media that the group had nothing to do with the murder of Carl Vinson, son of Carcar City Mayor Nicepuro Apura.

Comendador said although they believed that the killing could be fraternity related, the Tau Gamma was not mentioned in the investigation.

Comendador said members of the fraternity will  not be invited in the investigation since the assailant has already been identified.

Police refused to identify the assailant pending an operation to arrest him.

Comendador said the assailant is still in Cebu and charges will be immediately filed against him once he is arrested.

Carl Vinson was shot dead while watching a live band show in barangay Valladolid last Sunday dawn.

For security purposes, a team of policemen were deployed at the house of the Apuras where the wake is held./CORRESPONDENT GABRIEL C. BONJOC
