ILOILO City – His neighbor hacked him to death, police said.
The 46-year-old Moses Geroche of Barangay Baclayan, New Lucena, Iloilo did not survive after being hacked multiple times on the body.
Geroche was a job hire employee of the municipal government in New Lucena.
Tagged suspects for his fatal hacking around 11 p.m. on Sept. 16 were brothers Alex and Jomar Soliorano, police said.
From what the New Lucena police gathered so far, Geroche, who appeared inebriated, yelled and challenged his neighbors to a fight while wielding a gun.
This prompted Jomar to confront Geroche but the latter allegedly fired his gun.
Alex saw the commotion and attacked Geroche on the head using a bolo.
Geroche was rushed to the New Lucena District Hospital but he was later declared dead.
Meanwhile, Jomar was brought to the Western Visayas Medical Center for a slight gunshot wound on the body. Alex, on the other hand, was detained in the lockup up cell of the New Lucena police station.
The Solioranos will be facing homicide charges./PN
