UTHORITIES are now conducting a manhunt against one of the suspects who were allegedly responsible for killing three family members yesterday in Purok 5, Baracatan, Toril District, Davao City. Barangay officials in Baracatan identified the victims as couple Carlita and Percival Edar, both in their 50s, and their 12year old son John Casser Edar. One of the suspects, Romulo Teleron has been arrested, while the other suspect, identified as Nilo Teleron, is being pursued by authorities. Both Nilo and Romulo are brothers of the victim

Carlita. According to barangay officials, a possible motive behind the massacre could be the land dispute between Carlita and her siblings Nilo and Romulo. In an interview in a local radio station in Davao City, Barangay Captain Danilo Rambid said Carlita and Nilo were supposed to appear at the Barangay Hall for a hearing on a child abuse case filed by Carlita against Nilo. During the radio interview, Carlita accused Nilo of abusing her 12 year old son John Casser. Aside from the barangay case involving Carlita’s son, Rambid said the elderly woman and her

siblings are also embroiled in a land dispute which has been lodged at a local court. Initial reports by the police said the couple and their son were sleeping when the perpetrators forcibly entered their residence at around 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday. Percival was hacked in the neck by the suspects but still managed to run outside their house and ask for help. His dead body was recovered outside their residence. Carlita sustained a gunshot wound in the face, while her son John Casser sustained a hack wound in the neck.
