POLICE investigators are considering land conflict as one of the motives in Sunday's bombing of a house belonging to a former medico legal of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Cagayan de Oro City.
This as the victim, Dr. Espelito Caramba, pointed his nephew as the one responsible in throwing two hand grenades into his house around 3 a.m.

Caramba, ex-medico legal of NBI in Northern Mindanao, did not name his nephew.
One of the hand grenades went off, knocking the walls off the entrance gate of Caramba's house in Barangay Bugo. No one was injured.
"I'm 99 percent that my nephew, the son of my elder brother, did this because of the last will and testament of my father," the former NBI official told reporters Monday.
He also dismissed speculations that the incident may have been work-related, saying it had something to do with the property of their late father in Clarin town, Misamis Occidental. He did not elaborate.
Police Supt. Danildo Tumanda of the City Public Safety Management recovered the hand grenade that did not detonate. Caramba said he is mulling charges against his nephew.
