ROXAS CITY, Capiz – The police are readying murder cases to be filed against the suspects who hacked dead a farmer at Sitio Minoro in Barangay Bula, Mambusao, Capiz last week.

Police Staff Sergeant Ryan Villas, Mambusao police investigator, said the case against Nolly Eliseo, 33, and Rodolfo Olino, will fall under regular filing after the 36-hour reglementary detention period lapsed.

Villas said he has not received the death certificates of victim Jose Sorio, 35, also of said place, which was needed in the filing of the case.

Mambusao Municipal Police Station officers nabbed Rodulfo Olino, 47, of Sitio Minoro, Barangay Bula, Mambusao, Capiz in a hot pursuit operation.

Elisio voluntarily surrendered to the village officials of Brgy. Bula and was later turned over to the police.

The two were tagged as the suspects in the hacking to death of Sorio, 35, on April 23, 2021 in Barangay Bula, Mambusao.

Investigation by the Mambusao Municipal Police Station indicated that the suspects went to Sorio’s house and hacked him several times.

Police have yet to ascertain the motive behind the incident, but they learned that Sorio had accused his attackers of stealing rice in their barangay.
