The most wanted person in Iloilo City was arrested May 19, 2019 in Arevalo district.
Members of the Iloilo City Police Office (ICPO) Tracker Team and Arevalo Police Station collared Russel Mosquera, 29, of Barangay Calaparan, Arevalo around 12:10 a.m. Sunday.
Mosquera is accused of murder in Criminal Case No 17-80710 with no bail recommended and frustrated murder in Criminal Case No. 17-80711 with a P24,000 bail.
Mosquera, a construction worker, was charged for attacking two brothers who are fellow laborers on Feb. 5, 2017 in Pavia, Iloilo.
John Dher Juabe, 28, and his younger brother, Bernardo Juabe, Jr., 27, both residents of Barangay Lisub A in Anini-y, Antique, suffered three stab wounds each after the incident.
John Dher did not survive the attack after suffering fatal wounds on his neck, chest, and body.
Bernardo, on the other hand, survived wounds on his back, chest, and abdomen.
Mosquera fled after the incident.
Police accounts said the Juabes and a certain Larry Baguna went to the house of their friend and fellow construction worker Larry Casabuena at Ungka II, Pavia.
There, they met Mosquera who had bad blood with the victims.
The Juabe brothers worked for CJB Construction, a contractor of a subdivision project in Pavia.
Mosquera was also a construction worker in the same subdivision.
The suspect and the victims are all cockfighting enthusiasts and there to check Casabuenas game fowls when the incident happened.
It cannot be ascertained who started the commotion when the two camps began hurling threats against each other.
This prompted Casabuena to order the brothers and Mosquera to go home to avoid further fights.
The victims hurriedly left but Mosquera allegedly ran after them and began stabbing the two.
Baguna was not hurt after he scampered for safety.
