GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Philippines—A former vice mayor of Massim, Sarangani province was shot dead by a lone assailant near the town hall there around 9 a.m. Thursday, the authorities said. | |||
Sawab Pangolima, 64, died while being rushed to a hospital, according to incumbent Vice Mayor Uttoh Salem Cutan. | |||
He said that based on police investigation, personal grudge was the motive behind the killing of Pangolima, who served as Massim vice mayor from 2007-2011. | |||
“Our initial finding was that the shooting was motivated by a personal grudge. Sort of a family feud,” he said. | |||
Senior Superintendent Florendo Quidilla, Sarangani police chief, said a suspect had been arrested in connection with the killing. | |||
“The suspect was arrested during … pursuit operation. He is now under the custody of the Maasim police,” Quidilla said. | |||
Meanwhile, a civilian agent of the Army’s Joint Task Force Gensan and his female companion were injured during a shooting incident here Wednesday evening. | |||
Police investigators said Angelito Batan, 35, and Sherilyn Cercardo, 37, were on their way home with several others when attacked in Barangay Lagao by two men riding in tandem on a motorbike around 10 p.m. | |||
The injured victims were rushed to private hospitals here for treatment. | |||
