Lubigan killers’ getaway car recovered

The vehicle allegedly used by the suspects in killing Trece Martires, Cavite Vice Mayor Alexander Lubigan was recovered by the police yesterday on a bridge in Maragondon town, approximately 26 kilometers from where the latter was ambushed.

Senior Inspector Rez Alovera, chief of Maragondon Municipal Police Station, said a metallic black-dark green Toyota Hilux was first discovered by a student on Mabacao-Pantihan Bridge at Barangay Tulay B around 6:55 a.m.

"Papasok na 'yung estudyante sa eskwela tapos nakita niya 'yung sasakyan na abandonado kaya tumawag siya ng barangay. Ang barangay naman ang nag-report sa amin," said Alovera.

It can be recalled that Lubigan was ambushed in front of Korean-Philippines Friendship Hospital along TreceIndang Road in Barangay Luciano, Trece Martires City last July 7. He was on board his black Toyota Hilux.
