'Cabbie's death was a payback'

By Ruby P. Silubrico

THE Anilao Police asserted that taxi driver, Niel Losa, whose dead body 
was fished out on a grassy area in Barangay Palaypay, Anilao, Iloilo, was 
killed to repay for his testimonies that resulted to the detention of his 
killers.

The investigators who have already identified the three suspects who shot 
dead Losa two weeks ago, said a week before the incident, these three 
persons rode Losa's taxi after robbing an old man with $8,000.

The three suspects, who are facing a string of criminal charges in court 
(one of them has eight pending cases before the Municipal Circuit Trial 
Court and the other two at the Regional Trial Court), were later on arrested 
through Losa's testimonial.

Losa reportedly received death threats from the three suspects even before 
they were released from jail.

Losa's killers carted away his collections other valuables, before he was 
killed.

The police withheld their names to protect their operation for an arrest.
