Four gunmen on motorcycles opened fire on a campsite in Taytay, Rizal killing a lawyer and injuring two others.
The slain lawyer, Atty. Rodolfo Felicio, had been sleeping inside a tent along with two caretakers of the land owned by his client, the Mejia family.
Felicio handled the land dispute cases concerning the family’s vast property in Taytay, which is said to span several hectares.
Felicio, who was shot close to the heart in the early hours of Sunday, died before he got to the hospital. Meanwhile, caretakers Rolando Andaya and Antonio Arcilla were wounded.
Police recovered 36 empty shells from .45 caliber and 9mm guns from the crime scene.
Francisca Mejia, one of Felicio’s clients, said her camp would seek justice for Felicio.
Meantime, the National Union of People’s Lawyers is condemning Felicio’s murder. Atty. Edre Olalia, NUPL Secretary General, says that they will conduct their own investigation to help speed up the process.
