CABANATUAN CITY -- Three suspected cattle rustlers were killed in a brief firefight with combined elements of the police's criminal investigation and detection group and special operations group in this city over the weekend, police said on Monday.
Senior Supt. Alex Paul I. Monteagudo, Nueva Ecija police director, identified the fatalities as Julius Castro, Norvin Capulong, and Alfredo Juaquin.
The suspects, Monteagudo said, belonged to the socalled Juaquin group allegedly led by Alfredo which was responsible in a series of cattle rustling cases in Cabanatuan, a primarily agricultural city, and adjoining areas.
Monteagudo said the lawmen were conducting joint operation in response to intelligence information in the city's outskirt village of San Josef when when they encountered the rustlers at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday. (Armand M. Galang)
