Army officer found dead inside barracks (2:20 p.m.)
MANILA -- Colonel Roberto Caldeo, a staff officer at the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Command and General Staff College, was found lifeless inside his Fort Bonifacio quarters Thursday morning.
A neighbor discovered the body at about 8:30 a.m. after hearing a gunshot inside the quarters.
The scene-of-the-crime investigators (Soco) are already looking into the case. The Armed Forces will also conduct a separate investigation.
Caldeo graduated from the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in 1983 and he received the distinguished conduct star, the second to the highest military award, and several other combat awards.
He was also commander of the First Scout Ranger Battalion and the 33rd Infantry Battalion, both in Mindanao.
The cause of his death is yet to be known. (Sunnex) |
