Rebel tagged in killing of bishop’s brod

ILOILO, Philippines – An alleged member of the Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade was tagged in the killing of the brother of Davao Archbishop Emeritus Fernando Capalla.

In a press conference yesterday, Chief Inspector Joseph Euje Almaquer, spokesman of a special investigation task group, said three witnesses have identified Julie Cabino, 30, alias Jojo Cabino and Jojo Cabarles, as one of the two assailants of Romeo Capalla in Oton town two weeks ago.

Almaquer though said Cabino’s gun was not the one that killed Capalla, as his firearm jammed after he fired it.

Murder charges were filed against Cabino and four John Does yesterday.
