One Dead, Another Wounded in Subic Freeport Hold-Up
INVESTIGATORS are baffled by the daring daylight hold-up of an online gaming shop inside the Subic Bay Freeport that resulted to the death of a security guard and wounding of the cashier.
According to Dawn Gonzalvo, 28, manager of E-Games at the 2nd Floor of 01 Site Bldg, near the Freeportβs Main Gate, she arrived at the shop around 2PM today and found the door locked.
Opening Β the door with her own key, she found cashier Patrick Fajardo bloodied in a corner with wounds on his hands.
Slumped a few meters away was the lifeless body of security guard Danilo Yap, 23, whose neck was slashed by a sharp instrument, according to investigators.
Blood was all over the shop, indicating a fierce struggle had taken place.
Gonzalvo said three (3) months ago, in October, E-Games was also held-up, prompting management to hire a security guard.
Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Law Enforcement Dept. head Gen. Orlando Maddela said, pending results of the investigations, Fajardo is considered a suspect.
Yapβs issued .38 caliber revolver is missing.
The shopβs CCTV recorder was detached and purposely placed in the sink under running water, obviously to destroy evidence it may contain.
