LINGAYEN: Police arrested on Tuesday two suspects in the killing of Infanta town Mayor Ruperto Martinez and filed murder charges against them before the provincial prosecutor’s office.
“As far as the police are concerned, this is now a solved case but it is not yet closed because we will not stop until the masterminds are identified and arrested,” said Senior Superintendent Mariano Luis Verzosa Jr, acting provincial police director.
Of the two arrested suspects, witnesses tagged Richard Manuel as the triggerman, while Ricardo Legarda drove the getaway motorcycle when they shot Martinez with a 45 calibre pistol in his house last Saturday afternoon.
