Man kills engineer- partner; kills self

CALANASAN, Apayao – A lady engineer was shot dead reportedly by her spurned former partner, who also shot and killed himself here evening of Sept. 1.

The Calanasa police said that Engr. Joylin Liyaban, 27, died from gunshot wounds after she was attacked by Reden Garcia, 33 at a construction site in Barangay Poblacion here at around 6:40 p.m.

Another driver, Cleto Macklinic, was wounded when he too was shot by Garcia.

Initial investigation showed that Garcia entered Libayan’s room at the work site and shot her.

As he was stepping out of the room, he bumped into Macklinic and shot him once.

Garcia then shot himself in the head.

Investigators learned that Libayan and Garcia started a relationship in June, but the lady engineer decided to end the affair, which was resented by Garcia.
