CAMP VICENTE LIM, Laguna, Philippines — A former police officer was allegedly killed by suspected robbers in Lipa, Batangas on Wednesday night.
Supremo Casabuena, 56, died while being treated at the N.L Villa Hospital.
Casabuena’s wife Edna, a rice dealer, was unhurt.
Initial investigation showed the couple had just arrived at their house in Barangay Sabang when three men appeared from behind and declared a holdup.
Casabuena pulled out his gun, but one of the robbers allegedly shot him and then took his bag containing P60,000 in cash, credit cards and a cell phone. The gunmen also allegedly took some other things from the house of the victims before they escaped.
One of the motorcycles used by the robbers were recovered a few meters away from the scene.
