LINGAYEN,
Pangasinan — The Arcinue family of Lingayen expressed Thursday thanks to the
National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for last week’s arrest of the gunman in
the killing of former Vice Mayor Ramon Arcinue and his wife, Zorahayda, and
urged Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to make further efforts to unmask the
mastermind in the double-murder case.
Speaking for the family, Mayor Bing Arcinue of Sual who is the elder
brother of the slain former vice mayor thanked De Lima for having directed the
NBI “to immediately conduct manhunt operations and effect the warrant of
arrest” of the suspected gunman, Otto Guialaludin.
Guialaludin, a.k.a. “Boy Muslim” and a native of Cotabato City, was
arrested while about to claim cash at a money transfer center.
He is the principal suspect in shooting the couple to death at their
apartment in Sampaloc, Manila on March 7, 2012.
Asked if the family had any idea of who might have ordered the killing,
Mayor Arcinue said they believe it has something to do with politics.
The Manila Police District has three witnesses identifying Guialaludin
as the gunman.
MPD probers also said that Guialaludin is a former close-in bodyguard of
Mayor Ernesto Balolong of Urbiztondo, Pangasinan.
Balolong denied any part in the crime, sayng: “Why will I be implicated
in the killing of the couple? I don’t know them personally and there’s no
motive to link me to them.” – Leizle BasaInigo
