MAN KILLED  WHILE PLAYING HANTAK

ONE was dead and two were injured in separate shooting incidents in Cebu City last Sunday dawn.

Ronaldo Dullete was shot dead while playing hantak (toss coin game)  with his neighbors in barangay Basak-San Nicolas.

Dullete died on the spot with a gunshot wound in the head.

Michael Abay, the victim’s neighbor, said they were playing hantak when a man walked behind them.

Abay said a single gunshot rang out. The man said they all dropped to the ground and later saw Dullete bloodied.

Abay said they did not see the face of the gunman as the area was dark.

Police said personal grudge is being looked into as one of the possible motives of the killing.
