A policeman was shot dead Wednesday by a farm
caretaker over a quarrel regarding fighting cocks in
Marikina City. 

The victim, PO1 Romeo Abenir, 34, of Cruz St.,
Barangay Parang and detailed at the Police Community
Precinct 11 sustained nine bullet wounds in the body.
He died on the spot. 

His assailant, identifed only as Aldog, a caretaker of
the Astig Farm in Barangay Parang, escaped after the
incident. 

Senior Superintendent Felipe Rojas Jr., Marikina City
police chief, said Abenir was sharing some of his
fighting cocks at the Astig Farm owned by Samer Padao,
better known for his aliases Andy, Boy Tangkad and Boy
Muslim. 

During the past cockfights, Abenir’s fighting cocks
lost and the policeman suspected that Aldog, has not
been religiously been doing his job. 

At about 3:10 p.m. Wednesday, Abenir arrived at the
farm and confronted Aldog, triggering a verbal tussle.


At the height of the heated argument, the suspect
reportedly grabbed a caliber 9mm automatic pistol and
emptied it on Abenir. 

Nine empty shells, a deformed slug for a 9mm pistol
and a live caliber .45 pistol ammunition were
recovered at the crime scene. 

Rojas said the suspect escaped taking with him the
handgun. 

He said the suspect could not have used Abenir’s gun
because it was locked in his locker in the nearby
police station at the time of the incident. 

Abenir’s body was brought to the crime laboratory of
the Philippine National Police (PNP) in Camp Crame for
autopsy. 

Rojas said they are investigating reports that a
number of armed men were seen inside the farm in the
past. 

Rojas’ deputy Superintendent Romeo Abaring said that
Aldog admitted shooting Abenir in a cellular phone
chat with a fellow Muslim who is now coordinating with
him for the safe surrender of Aldog.
