Denora was shot dead by unidentified gunmen at around 1:10 p.m. last June 7 along the National Highway in Barangay New Pandan, Panabo City.

The victim was at the front seat of his white Hyundai Elantra driven by Mayonito A. Revira. The victim sustained multiple gunshot wounds on his head that resulted to his death while his driver sustained two gunshot wounds in the right hand.

Manibog said that they’ve been receiving information through their hotline regarding the case but they are still validating the veracity of the reports.

Earlier, a Special Investigation Task Group (SITG), called Task Force Denora, was created to solve the case which is composed of Deputy Regional Director for Operations (DRDO) as SITG supervisor: Provincial Director as commander; Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) assistant commander; PIO spokesman. Other members are the Provincial Crime Laboratory Office (PCLO), Provincial Investigation and Detective Management Branch (PIDMB); Provincial Legal Officer and investigator on the case.

Manibog said they are also coordinating with the Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFOMS) during the investigation.

They are in the process of collecting possible evidences that will lead them to the identity of the suspect like the Close Circuit Television (CCTV) footages. They still do not know the motive of the killing but they are looking at all angles.

They are also waiting for the result of the forensic investigation on the mobile phone of the victim.

“Ang focus namin dito is the identity of the suspect based on the evidences siguro once na mahuli ang suspect siya ang makapag-revail who is behind such shooting incident,” Manibog said. JCR
