The New People’s Army (NPA) claimed the killing of a chief tanod in a shooting incident in Brgy. Bagonbon, San Carlos City, Negros Occidental, on Tuesday, Jan. 7.
The NPA Roselyn Jean Pelle Command of the Northern Negros Guerilla Front alleged that Elberito Ancero, 51, was a military intelligence asset.
Ancero died after 12 armed individuals shot him.
The victim was tending to his cow when he was killed.
The NPA said their “punitive action” was due to the victim’s “counter-revolutionary acts” and alleged rape cases.
The police are still investigating the incident.*
