CCTV caught the shooting of mag-live in partner inside the bus while on a trip around 12 noon, Wednesday, November 15, 2023 in part of Barangay Minuli, Caranglan, Nueva Ecija.
Meet the live-in partner Gloria Mendoza Quillano, 60-year-old, resident of Sta. Lucia, Cauayan City, Isabela; and Arman Bautista, 55-year-old from Koronadal City, South Cotabato.
Based on the initial investigation by the authorities, the Victory Liner Bus with the plate CAY 3363 came from the terminal in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, and the victims boarded in Cauayan City, Isabela while the suspects boarded in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya.
Seen in the video footage from CCTV or dashcam of such a bus, two suspected passengers also stood up from the back of the bus and went to the front and shot mercilessly the sleeping live-in partner riding in the front.
The suspects stopped the driver from driving because they would alight the area and flee.
The bus driver allegedly immediately directed the bus he was driving to PNP Caranglan while the victims were flooded and what happened was reported.
The possible motive for the crime was allegedly considered a fight on the ground because it was learned that the live in partner would have gone to Manila to attend Raffy Tulfo In Action.
Authorities are currently investigating to identify the crime suspects.
