PB Sanchez Urges Police to Speed Up Investigation on Toledo Ambush

Cebu third district Provincial Board member Grecilda Sanchez on Tuesday morning urged local police to speed up the investigation of last Monday’s ambush in Toledo City which killed a barangay councilwoman and critically injured a barangay captain.

“Paspasan nila. Duha kabuok gud. Kinahanglan naa’y thourough investigation. I’ll ask them today kung unsay gibuhat nila for the last 24 hours. Diha ta magbase sa kapaspason sa atong action within the next 24 hours. Molapas na gani daghan na’ng mahitabo,” said Sanchez.

Sanchez left for Toledo City yesterday afternoon to visit the wake of Capt. Claudio and Councilwoman Irene Wamelda.

Wamelda died after being ambushed late Monday afternoon by three gunmen in a motorcycle while inside a multicab driven by her live-in partner barangay chairman Alexander Alqueza.

Alqueza survived the attack but was in critical condition after he sustained four gunshot wounds in his head and arms after the attack.

Local police are still looking for motives of the ambush.
