LAOAG CITY – Frustrated murder charges have been filed against the suspected triggerman in the attempt on the life of the mayor of Marcos town in Ilocos Norte.

Supt. Jeffrey Gorospe, Ilocos Norte police spokesman, said the suspected hit man, Jofel Reton, is now detained at the Cabugao police jail after he was positively identified by Marcos Mayor Salvador Pillos and several witnesses.

Pillos was shot by two motorcycle-riding men last Feb. 4 while inspecting a project in his town.

Senior Supt. Gerardo Ratuita, provincial police director, said Reton belongs to the Cinco gun-for-hire group operating in the Ilocos region.

Reton is also facing a murder case in Ilocos Sur and his house in Barangay Turod Patac, Cabugao town reportedly yielded explosives during a police raid.
