NUEVA ECIJA—Cornered by police, a suspected robber committed suicide early Tuesday by slashing his throat and stabbing his abdomen with a bolo in Barangay Nazareth in General Tinio town in this province.
Felipe Jane, a native of Dumaguete City, was found dead after he exchanged shots with policemen, said SPO1 Jonathan Malicse, the lead investigator.
He was chased by policemen and soldiers, who responded to a robbery alert made by a village official.
“The suspect [suddenly] stopped firing,” Malicse said, adding that when they inspected the area, they found Jane dead from what appeared to be self-inflicted wounds.
Investigators recovered the suspect’s bolo and a handgun with two live bullets. Armand Galang, Inquirer Central Luzon
