Robbery results in couple grim death
       LOBOC -- The loot was only P28,000 but two suspects are paying dearly for the death of an elderly couple.

        Two of the three suspects are now languishing at the Loboc town jail for the robbery and murder of the couple Andres and Brigida Ibañez, 79 and 72 years old, respectively. The victims are residents of barangay Candabong, this town.

       It did not take long for the Loboc police to capture the perpetrators identified as one Isidro Brin y Bongabong alias Lolong, 22, and Genesis Polinar y Tac-an alias Terio, age and address unknown.

        A third suspect, a certain Mario Loy-a is still at large.
 As this developed, Mayor Cecilio Sarigumba ordered an extensive manhunt to track down Loy-a.

         In a check with the Loboc police last night, SPO1 Eufemia Fajardo, in charge of the town's women's desk, said the entire local police are on their toes to apprehend the third suspect who is believed to be the mastermind.

         At least two witnesses, the couple's son and a grandson, told the police how the three suspects carried out the dastardly crime.

         The grandson, Rich Lord Ibañez, said he saw how the suspects robbed and killed his grandparents.

        The six year-old witness had lived with the ill-fated couple.

      The son, Juan Ibañez, 41, said he also saw the three suspects rob and kill the hapless husband and wife.
 It was learned from the Loboc police that the money was taken from the wife. She had wrapped the bills in a piece of cloth and tied it around her waist.

       As of last report, the Loboc police are still trying to figure it out who among the three suspects hid the loot.
 The police also submitted the two to paraffin and drug tests at the PNP Crime Laboratory in Camp Dagohoy in Tagbilaran City.

       Brin and Polinar tested negative for paraffin or for shabu and marijuana.

       This means they did not fire a gun and were not under the influence of drugs immediately before the tests were performed.

       But the witnesses had positively identified the two to be among the perpetrators.
