BACOLOD City – Police believe that a land dispute may have something to do with the killing of a farmer at Sitio Manubutubu, Barangay Mahalang, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental last Wednesday.
The victim was identified as Domingo Bustillo, 52, of the said village.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Reynante Jomocan, city police chief, said the victim was checking his harvested grains when an unidentified person approached and suddenly shot him.
Jomocan said the victim succumbed to four gunshot wounds in the body.
Police recovered from the scene three casings of. 45 caliber ammunition, a black holster, and an empty white sack.
Jomocan said they already have a person of interest in the incident.
However, he noted that they need a witness that can positively identify the suspect in order to establish the link of the person of interest in the incident.
