CANDON CITY, Ilocos Sur- Police authorities are looking into a love angle on the May 16 bloody killing of a farmer who had reportedly just separated again from his latest live in partner in Barangay Calunboyan, this city.

Supt. Marlo Castillo, chief of police here, said one angle the police are looking into is the reported sudden separation of the victim identified as Alejandrino Astrero of Calungboyan, who was shot dead by unknown killer while the victim was sleeping alone inside his house in the area.

The victim suffered five gunshot wounds- two in the head, two in the chest and one in the neck-that caused his instant death.

Neighbors of the victim said they suddenly heard burst of gunfire in the dead of night but did not know it was Astrero who was shot.

When they woke up in the morning, they noticed that the victim did not come out of his house prompting them to look for him.

They found the victim dead.

Castillo said they recovered spent shells of Cal. 9mm at the crime scene.

Castillo said they have yet to conclude the motive of the slaying, saying there were still investigating.
