TOMAS, Pangasinan – The gunman in the killing of a municipal councilor who is
making a run for the position of vice mayor in the 2019 midterm polls was
arrested here while his two cohorts are still at large.
Pangasinan Provincial
Director Sr. Supt. Wilzon Joseph Lopez identified the victim as Benjamin Oculto
Jr., who had just finished hearing mass at around 10:40 a.m. when he was shot
by Jun Jun Vidal Dec. 16 in Barangay Poblacion West here.
Vidal is a resident of
Barangay Hermoso in Tepo, Bataan.
Lopez said the victim
had just emerged from the Jesus Christ Church, and was crossing the road headed
for his car when Vidal and two others fired at him.
Vidal and his companions
then sped off in their get-away vehicle, and even engaged pursuing policemen in
an encounter.
Vidal eventually gave
himself up, while his two cohorts were able to escape.
