2 ‘salvaging’ victims identified by families
* As police say they may ask broadcaster Bobby Nalzaro to help in going after killers; Nalzaro announced names before cops tagged victims
THE bodies of two men who were dumped in the mountain barangay of Sirao, Cebu City last Sunday dawn were identified yesterday afternoon by their parents and relatives.
The slain victims were identified as Jimmy Laba-dan and Fermin Pulido Jr., both from Bayugan I, Agusan del Sur.
The names of Labadan and Pulido as well as that of the other slain victim found in the North Reclamation Area, Zaldy Anduyan, were mentioned by mediaman Pablito “Bobby” Nalzaro last Sunday, before the police even identified the victims.
Supt. Pablo Labra II, chief of the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Bureau (CIIB), is planning to ask Nalzaro to help the police in the investigation, especially to identify the perpetrators.
Richard Buscaino, manager of San Fernando Funeral Homes where Labadan and Pulido’s bodies were temporarily kept, said the parents and relatives of the victims arrived at 2 p.m.
But none of them gave any details about Labadan’s and Pulido’s background, which police investigators are still checking. The family members will return to the funeral home today to claim the bodies.
Anduyan, 31, was identified last Monday also by his wife, after his body was found in Barangay Tinago in the North Reclamation Area, hours before Labadan and Pulido’s bodies were discovered.
The killings of the three men were perceived to have been perpetrated by a group of vigilantes out to kill suspected criminals.
As with the 15 other victims of summary killings since Dec. 22, police have yet to identify people who carried out the crimes.
Supt. Labra said they are still checking the possible crime records in the city of the three slain men. (JST)
