The Philippine Army has identified Roger Fabillar, alias Arnel Tapang, an elusive leader of communist rebel remnants in northern Negros, as the gunman who killed a farmer in Barangay Gawahon, Victorias City, Negros Occidental, apparently over a land dispute.
Fabillar was identified as the gunman who killed Jonhee Montoya at a covered court of Brgy. Gawahon, Victorias City, Negros Occidental, on April 2 last year, based on CCTV footage acquired by authorities.
Montoya was seen kneeling when he was shot by the suspect.
His killing was claimed by the Roselyn Jean Pelle Command of the NPA.
Fabillar, who has been linked to numerous killings in the hinterlands of Calatrava and Toboso, has a bounty of P1 million for his arrest.*
