A 20-year-old suspect in the killing of two victims in Dasmariñas, Cavite was arrested in Pampanga after reportedly evading authorities for five years.

According to a report by John Consulta on "24 Oras Weekend," the suspect was tracked down and arrested in Angeles City by personnel of the Regional Intelligence Division of PRO4A.

Operatives slowly positioned themselves around a house before apprehending the 20-year-old suspect, who is allegedly a hitman.

Police said the suspect was involved in the shooting of two victims, one of whom was a six-year-old child.
