A suspect in the February 19 killing of a New Zealand tourist in Makati City is already in police custody, Unang Balita reported on Friday.
Accompanied by his family members, the suspect, John Mhar Manalo, surrendered to the police in Pasig City early Friday morning.
Manalo was identified by three witnesses as the one who shot victim Nicholas Peter Stacey during a robbery attempt. He surrendered hours after the police named him as one of the two suspects in the killing.
Manalo denied involvement in the killing of Stacey but is the subject of a warrant of arrest in connection with a separate robbery incident that occurred in Bulacan.
Stacey was shot when he tried to defend his girlfriend from motorcycle-riding robbers who were victimizing her along Filmore Street in Barangay Palanan, Makati City on the wee hours of Sunday. —KBK, GMA Integrated News
