BACOLOD City – Police are looking into the death of a rebel returnee in Barangay San Isidro, Toboso, Negros Occidental last Tuesday as insurgency-related, believing that the victim was mistaken for an informant of government forces.
Killed was Bienvinido Montejar, 62, of the said village.
Based on the investigation, three unidentified persons went to Montejar’s house and had breakfast.
In the middle of the meal, an argument reportedly ensued between them. The suspects later invited the victim outside of his house and shot him.
Montejar succumbed to a gunshot wound on the head.
Captain Kenneth Paul Magan, town police chief, said it’s possible that the victim knew the suspects as he invited them to enter his house to eat breakfast.
Magan said they have yet to identify the perpetrators.
