“We are 101% sure na etong hawak natin ay ang mga suspects,” he said during the presentation of suspects at the MPD Headquarters.
Yuson was killed while two companions – Wildredo Pineda, 44, and Alberto Alforte, 23 — were wounded when car-riding armed men shot them while having breakfast in front of a house in Sampaloc on Wednesday morning. (Erma Edera)
