A 31-YEAR-OLD construction worker was shot dead in barangay Casuntingan, Mandaue City.
Police are still investigating the motive behind the shooting of Arnel Quilliao, who was shot in the back.
Police arrested Rolly Cañete, 39, after he was identified by witnesses as the one who shot Quilliao last Tuesday morning.
Cañete, a stay-in worker of a lumberyard, denied involvement in the killing.
Quilliao was shot while fetching water from a well. Police failed to recover a gun from Cañete, who will be subjected to a paraffin test to find out if he had recently fired a gun./CORRESPONDENTS NORMAN V. MENDOZA AND FE MARIE D. DUMABOC
