After almost five years in hiding, the National Bureau of Investigation in Eastern Visayas finally located the principal suspect in the killing of a municipal administrator back in 2019.
Emmanuel Velosa, also known as "Wengweng," brother of San Isidro Mayor Remedio Veloso, was arrested last Wednesday, August 7, who was hiding in the town administered by his own brother.
Wengweng Veloso was suspected as involved in the shooting of municipal administrator Levi Mabini in Brgy. Capiñahan, San Isidro, Leyte last May 2019.
According to the NBI, aside from Wengweng, Mayor Veloso himself and two others were also linked to the killing as conspirators, according to witnesses.
On the other hand, this allegation is refuted by Mayor Veloso and insisted he had nothing to do with the crime and allegations were simply "politically motivated".
