DAVAO CITY, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / Sept. 24, 2008) – Motorcycle gunmen killed a female caretaker of a boarding house in the southern Philippine city of Davao, police said Wednesday.
Police said Evelyn Lantion was shot at around 5 p.m. on Tuesday in front of her boarding house in Catalunan Pequeno village. The assailants escaped after the shooting, police said.
It was not immediately known whether the attack was carried out by anti-crime vigilantes or hired killers.
Unsolved killings in the city were largely blamed on the so-called Davao Death Squad (DDS) vigilantes who had murdered hundreds of mostly criminals or those with police records the past years.
Little was known about the shadowy group, but relatives and families of those who fell victims to the DDS accused authorities as behind the killings. (Romy Bwaga)
