Suspected killer of elderly couple in QC dies in police custody


The man who was arrested on suspicion of killing an elderly couple in  Novaliches, Quezon City has himself been killed in police custody.

According to a report by Rod Vega on Super Radyo dzBB on Wednesday, suspect Carl Joseph Bañanola was in a police mobile en route to Camp Karingal after finishing the inquest proceedings.

While inside the vehicle, Bañanola allegedly asked a police escort to loosen his handcuffs because they were too tight.

The cop tried to adjust them, but the suspect supposedly grabbed his service firearm.

This prompted the police officer sitting in the front to shoot Bañanola.

The suspect was dead on arrival at the East Avenue Medical Center, as confirmed by National Capital Region Police Office chief Police Major General Guillermo Eleazar.

An investigation on the incident is ongoing. — Dona Magsino/BM, GMA News
