RIDING-IN-TANDEM assassins on Thursday killed a CPA-lawyer in an ambush in Mandaue City.
Slain was Duke Ramil Perral Lincuna.
An investigation showed Lincuna was traveling on his vehicle when waylaid by the suspects on Sacris Road in Bgy. Bakilid.
The victim suffered several gunshot wounds and was declared dead on arrival at the Mandaue City District Hospital.
Recovered at the crime scene were 11 empty shells of an unidentified firearm.
Authorities are hunting down the gunmen.
The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) condemned the killing of Lincuna.
“Violence of this nature unsettles not only the legal community but the public’s confidence in the justice system,” the IBP said in a statement.
Police formed a special investigation task group (SITG) to fast-track the probe into the ambush-killing of Lincuna.
Probers are investigating several possible motives, including work-related, business and personal angles.
Lincuna’s family and close friends reported no known threats against him.
