TABUK CITY, Kalinga – Morning of January 10, 2011, commuters were confronted by the disturbing sight of a dead man lying face down on the wayside near the Canao Bridge in Calanan, this city.
A closer look at the man revealed that he had multiple gunshot wounds in the head.
Although the victim did not bear any identification, he would later be identified by a townsmate as Joel Gamongan, 30 years old, married and resident of Apatan, Pinukpuk, Kalinga.
Police investigators say that people living near where the body was found heard gun bursts at around 10:30 PM of January 9 after which they heard the sound of a vehicle engine leaving the scene to an unknown direction.

The police said that the victim was declared dead on arrival at the nearest hospital.
Later that day, the suspect was arrested and the gun used in the crime confiscated by Tinglayan police.
