One of the 3 suspects in the recent shooting incident in Mambulac, Silay City, that killed 2 supporters of re-electionist Mayor Joedith Gallego has surrendered to the Negros Occidental Provincial Police Office (PNP).
According to Atty. Jose Edward Davila, the legal counsel for Team Asenso Silay, Brgy. Lantad Village Chief Arnie Benedicto surrendered to the police this afternoon. Benedicto was identified by one of the 7 survivors as one of the gunmen.
But Davila said that Benedicto vehemently denies any involvement in the shooting. He added that Benedicto is willing to undergo a paraffin test to clear his name.
This is a developing story, and further details are expected to be released by the Negros Occidental PNP.
