BACOLOD CITY—A radio broadcaster was arrested for allegedly killing his wife in Sagay City, Negros Occidental province on Wednesday night. Police said Mody Andalina, blocktimer of MBC Radyo Natin in northern Negros, would be subjected to a paraffin test in Bacolod City, to determine if he fired a gun. He was arrested after a policeman noticed a gun inside his handbag when he went to the police station to report the killing of his wife, Virginia, 33. Chief Insp. Eduardo Corpuz, Sagay police chief, said Andalina was drunk when he went to the station at 1:30 a.m. on Thursday to report that his wife died after they were supposedly ambushed. But policemen noticed that Andalina had a gun and confiscated it. They arrested him when they noticed that his hand had powder burns and the gun’s cartridge had bloodstains, Corpuz said. —CARLA P.
