Named as one of the suspects in the rob-slay case was Mohammad Maule, alias Bobong, a house painter. The two other suspects remain unknown as of press time.

Police have already forwarded to the City Prosecutor Office a case of robbery with homicide against Maule. He was identified by Mildred Salvador through a file photo last January 20.

Maule and his two companions, all still at large, are under police manhunt.

To recall, last January 15 around 8 p.m., three men wearing masks and armed with rifles and handguns broke into the house-office of Taiy Guan Te, 54, manager of a poultry farm in Sitio Gapuh and announced a holdup at gunpoint.

One of the intruders disarmed the security guard while the two other dragged Te into his room where they carted away almost P1 million and other valuables. One of them shot and killed Te before leaving the place.
