This, even as Malacañang has expressed alarm over the spate of extra-judicial executions in various parts of the country.
Mirasol Lavapie-Ramos, 36, a resident of Purok 4, Barangay Bacal II, Talavera town, was talking with a woman at a barbecue stand along the national road in the adjacent sitio when shot by unidentified attackers on board an unspecified van at about 4:10 p.m. Monday, police said.
Investigation showed that Lavapie, who was listed no. 10 in Talavera’s top drug personalities, tried to run for safety but was pursued with gunfire from the suspects using short firearms. Probers said the woman was reportedly dealing shabu to users in nearby Science City of Muñoz as her husband Jelvin Ramos is presently detained at the Nueva Ecija provincial jail here for drug pushing lodged at the Regional Trial Court Branch 37.
The other fatalities in this latest spate of killings were Alfred Valdez, Jr., 47 of Baloc. Sto. Domingo and Jessie Junarez, 37, of Barangay Luyos, San Antonio, Nueva Ecija while the survivor was Elitom German, 27, of Purok 1, Barangay Militar, Palayan City.
Junarez was abducted by unidentified suspects from his residence at about 9 p.m. Monday before his body was found dumped in Barangay Bagong Sikat, Cabiao. He was No. 40 in San Antonio’s drug list, according to PO2 Patrick delos Santos.
Valdez, No. 3 in the towns’ drug watch list, was killed by motorcycle-riding suspects in his residence at about 9 a.m. Tuesday.
German was driving his motorcycle when fired at by riding-in-tandem men along a road in Fort Magsaysay, Palayan City around 6:30 p.m. but even as the victim sustained a gunshot wound on his buttock, he managed to speed off and was subsequently brought to the military hospital inside the camp, said PO2 Jay Fidel Libres, investigator.
German was later transferred to a hospital in this city.
