Dorty-five year old Willie Montaño of Pulangyuta, Zamboanguita was allegedly summarily slain by a group of three men in their early 20’s and believed to be members of the New People’s Army. The victim was killed by the suspects with single gunshot in the head. Montaño died on the spot.

Investigators recovered from the crime scene an empty shell from a .45 caliber pistol and note ostensibly from the Pulang Mt. Talinis Front of the New People’s Army which accused the victim of being an asset of the 79th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army. Montaños remains were brought to Green Pasture Funeral Homes with Dr. Delia Futalan conducting the autopsy.
