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.
