BACOLOD City – Police are probing if the death of two men, including a foreigner here and in Murcia, Negros Occidental yesterday are linked.
Personnel of Police Station 2 reported yesterday that the body of an Oman national was found in a grassy portion of the reclamation area in Barangay 8 here.
Police identified the victim as Ahmed Haj, 34, of Barangay Alijis here.
Police Lieutenant Andy Ofalia, deputy station commander of Police Station 2, said that another resident found the lifeless Haj, who reportedly suffered a lone gunshot wound in the chest.
Ofalia said the victim may have been killed somewhere else and was later dumped in the area, as there were no slugs or empty shells recovered from the scene.

“Possible, sang kaagahon siya siguro gin patay kag gin wigit lang da,” he added.
Ofalia said they already have one person of interest but they could not yet determine the motive or possible angles behind the killing.
“Wala pa, no concrete reason yet kung ngaa gin patay siya,” he added.
He said the victim had been staying here for years now.
In Murcia town, a man was also found dead in the middle of a sugarcane plantation in Barangay Blumentritt on the same day.
Police Captain Jerald Muya, town police chief, identified the fatality as Archie Aguirre, 41, of Hinigaran town.
Muya said that a fellow sugarcane worker discovered Aguirre’s body, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds in the head and other parts of his body.
Police recovered from the scene eight empty shells of .22-caliber ammunition and a slug of a suspected M16 ammunition.
Muya said they don’t have a lead yet on the identities of the perpetrators and the motive on the incident.
“Layo abi sa pamalay, tunga kampo siya nasapwan, wala gid witnesses,” he added.
Muya said they have already checked Aguirre’s background with Hinigaran Municipal Police Station. The victim had no criminal record and was not a drug personality in the town.
He said they have coordinated with Police Station 2 here to check if it had something to do with the shooting incident here.”
“Check ta man kung basi pareho suspects,” he added.
