ILOILO City – The police of Dumangas, Iloilo detained a 43-year-old husband for the death of his 36-year-old wife in Barangay Patlad.

Carmelino Moreno was a supervisor at Armored Hawk Security Agency. According to witnesses, he shot his wife Lilia, said Police Officer 3 Joemarie Balisang.

The Dumangas police, however, was exploring two theories – accidental discharge of firearm and murder.

Lilia died of three gunshot wounds on the chest on Monday around past 3 a.m.

The shooting happened while the Morenos were on their way home walking.

From what the police have so far gathered, motorcycle-driving village watchman Simplicio Arevalo passed by the couple and this appeared to anger Carmelino.

Citing statements from witnesses, Balisang said Carmelino shouted at Arevalo then aimed a gun at the barangay tanod but Lilia tried to stop her husband.

“Before the shooting, the couple was heard quarreling while walking,” said Balisang.

An autopsy conducted on Lilia showed that a .38 revolver hit her.

Balisang said Carmelino had a .38 revolver but cops failed to recover it from the crime scene.

 

After the shooting, Carmelino went to the Dumangas police station and pointed to Arevalo as the one who shot his wife. But Balisang said witnesses surfaced pointing to the husband, not the barangay tanod./PN
