Two gunmen pumped caliber .45 bullets into businesswoman Lalaine Jore, 34, inside her Gorordo Convenience Store and Internet Cafe along Gorordo Avenue in Barangay Camputhaw last February 17, 2009. She later died at the hospital due to multiple gunshot wounds.
Several witnesses saw the suspects. The police also identified one gunman from the security camera inside the convenience store.
Follow up operations later led to the arrest of former Army Scout Ranger Filomino Amistad.
Who is Amistad?
The police now know that Amistad is a bodyguard of elected San Fernando Mayor Nineth Reluya and de facto mayor Nonoy Reluya. He was first seen with the Reluyas during the campaign in the 2007 local elections.
Why did he kill Jore?
According to the police based on news reports, Amistad is a hired killer.
But who hired him and what could possibly be the motive?
So far, Amistad has remained mum. The fact about the illicit relationship between Lalaine Jore and Nonoy Reluya is however coming out into the open. They even have a two year old child.
Is this not a case therefore of a tragic love triangle? Did Nineth order the killing of Jore after she discovered the illicit relationship and the belief that Nonoy gave Lalaine capital to start a successful business? Or did the relationship between Nonoy and Lalaine went sour to the point that she had to go just to keep the whole thing under wraps?
Whatever is the truth, only Amistad, his still free companion, Nonoy, and Nineth only know the answer.
And the big question is: who is the mastermind of the killing of Lalaine? Nonoy or Nineth?
