TABUK CITY, KALINGA – The alleged triggerman in the murder of Roman Catholic priest Fr. Franciscus Madhu on April 3, 2007 in Mabungtot, Lubuagan, this province, was shot to death in sitio Malusong, Canao, Lubuagan by Philippine National Police (PNP) troops around 12:30 AM of February 9.
Kalinga PNP Director Arni Dean Emock said that the incident took place when elements from the Regional Mobile Group (RMG) stationed in Lubuagan and from the Kalinga Provincial Police Office (KPPO) who were on a mission to serve the warrant for the arrest of suspect Nestor Wailan, married, farmer and resident of Dugnac,were fired at by Wailan.
Emock related that the troops who were acting on an intelligence report that Wailan was seen in the house of a certain Begas in Malusong armed with an M16 cordoned the subject house and two of them knocked on the door identifying themselves as policemen and ordering the occupants to open up.
Emock continued that instead of opening the door, the occupant of the house jumped out of the window firing at the lawmen while escaping prompting the latter to fire back.
The man who would later be identified as Wailan was hit causing his instant death, Emock said.
Emock said that an autopsy and paraffin cast could not be conducted on the body of Wailan as his relatives retrieved and buried the body immediately after the incident.
Emock further said that a 17-year old male person was apprehended during the operation and investigated for harboring a criminal but was released to the custody of the Municipal Social Welfare Office of Lubuagan later.
Emock informed the media that the case filed against Acmor Bonggawon, single and resident of Mabungtot, Lubuagan, one of the two identified cohorts of Wailan who was arrested in sitio Mansanita, Ipil, this city, on July 4, 2007, was dismissed by the court as there were no witnesses to corroborate the result of the investigation of the police.
The third suspect – Joel Awingan - is still at large, Emock said.
Emock said that this is the second operation to effect the arrest of the suspects and that during the first one on July 17, 2007, Wailan was able to elude arrest but was allegedly wounded.
Emock said that Wailan has a history of not giving up peacefully but the police still followed police operational procedures by knocking on the door and announcing their purpose.
According to the police, Madhu was preparing to say mass at the Mabungtot Primary School at around 5:30 PM on April 3, 2007 when Wailan entered the school house and for unknown reasons shot the priest six times with an M16 armalite rifle with five bullets finding their mark.
Emock said that it is possible the M16 recovered from Wailan during the operation which they have submitted for examination was the same one used in the shooting of Fr. Madhu. **By Estanislao Albano Jr., ZZW
