Odicta lawyer killed in Capiz

(Eagle News)—–A lawyer of alleged druglord Melvin Odicta was shot dead in Roxas City, Capiz on Friday, Sept. 27.

Edel Julio Romero was shot in the head as he was having lunch with his partner at  12:40 pm, the police said.

Romero was supposed to be boarding a roro vessel to go back to Manila, where he was based.

The gunman fled on board a sport utility vehicle with no plate number.

Romero, meanwhile, was rushed to the hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival.

In August 2016,  Odicta and his wife Meriam were shot dead after they disembarked from a RORO vessel at the Caticlan port.

Prior to this, the couple, who was being linked to illegal drugs, surrendered to then-Interior and Local Government Secretary Mike Sueno allegedly after receiving  death threats.
