Espinosa lawyer slayed in ambush

(Eagle News)– Atty. Rogelio Bato, lawyer of Albuera, Leyte Mayor Rolando Espinosa and his son Kerwin, was killed in an ambush in Tacloban City.

Aside from Atty. Bato, a 15-year old girl who was with him was also killed.

The elder Espinosa voluntarily surrendered to the Philippine National Police after President Duterte gave a “shoot on sight order” against him and Kerwin.

A raid at their ancestral home was conducted and at least 11 kilograms of shabu and bomb-making additives was retrieved.

Kerwin is still on hiding, but there are reports that he has been sighted in a hospital in Cebu.
