No lead yet on whereabouts of suspect in San Carlos City mayor’s slaying
SAN CARLOS CITY, Pangasinan – The family of the late Mayor Julian Resuello was extremely disappointed over the still unresolved slaying of the Resuello patriarch almost 11 months ago.
Julier Resuello, who succeeded his father as mayor of San Carlos City, said the gunman, identified as Cesar de Guzman, alias “Cabesa”, including the mastermind, are still at large despite the efforts of the Philippine National Police.
The elder Resuello was gunned down inside a jampacked auditorium on April 28 last year and died two days later at the St. Luke’s Medical Center in Manila.
Police Provincial Director Isagani Nerez confirmed that operatives tasked to track down de Guzman in various parts of the country returned home empty handed.
So far, P2 million was already made available to any person who can furnish the police any information that could lead to the arrest and prosecution of the suspect.
Only Angelito Soriano, a native of Malasiqui, had so far been arrested and is now being tried for double murder and multiple frustrated murder before the Regional Trial Court.
But Cabesa is the more important one because he holds the key that could unlock the mastermind.
Nerez said the manhunt against de Guzman by elements of the Task Force Resuello is still continuing. (PNA)
