SAN JUAN, La
Union — Three siblings were rescued by the police mid-afternoon Monday after
being taken hostage in their room by their drunken uncle early morning that
same day in Barangay Bacsayan, here.
Senior Insp. Rudy Tagalikud, local police chief, said the victims –
Olivia Hammer, 19; Sandra Hammer, 12; and Kevin Clifford Hammer, 9 – were
slightly injured by the their uncle, Marvin Soriano, who was wielding a broken
bottle during the hostage drama.
Probers said Soriano, who had been out of his wits after being blamed
for the death of his other niece in a motorcycle accident, resorted to drinking
prior to the hostage-taking. A police negotiator, Isagani Dumaoang, convinced
the suspect to release his hostages.
