The owner of a convenience store in Malvar, Batangas was killed in broad daylight by a gunman

who was seen on CCTV footage casually entering the store before drawing a gun to shoot her.

According to Andrew Bernardo’s GMA Regional TV Balitang Southern Tagalog,

the 55-year-old victim was doing cashier work when she was shot.

 

(We can't accept it, we don't want to believe it. We will miss her mischievousness, her charm.

We have no one to ask when we need to make a decision.)

The victim’s family owned the convenience store for almost three decades.

Suspect Herbert Adano, 43 years old, was arrested during a law enforcement operation of the authorities.

He also denied the allegations.

(I didn't do that, it was just accusations.) Adano said.

The police, however, said the witness of the incident confirmed that Adano shot the victim.

The authorities are also looking at the possible motive of the suspect, which was a fight over the part

of commission on the land for sale.

(There is a land for sale. They will have a commission of P7 million each.

The four of them will share in the proceeds of the land for sale. However,

when the victim was already asking the suspect for updates if the land has been sold,

he said there is nothing yet.)

(The victim asked to get the document again, but the suspect did not want to give it. It seems that the victim had doubts. It also seems that the motive is not really fraud. It was more about the interest. The suspect will no longer have a share.)

The family of the victim is seeking justice.

(We seek justice. We are grateful to our local government because there are so many

who help us.)

(Only one person has been caught. We are hoping that the other suspect will also be caught.)

The arrested suspect will face murder charges.
