A 26-year-old businesswoman was allegedly shot and killed by her suitor inside her apartment in Barangay Madaum, Tagum City, Davao del Norte, before dawn on Wednesday, July 16.
The victim, Seannen Gellangarin, was taken to a hospital where she died from bullet wounds.
The 49-year-old suspect, whose identity was not disclosed, was arrested in a follow-up operation in an inn in nearby Panabo City, Davao del Norte on Wednesday afternoon.
Recovered from the suspect were a .45-caliber pistol loaded with bullets, three sachets of suspected shabu valued at P360,000, a holster, a cellphone, and personal belongings.
The suspect is now detained at the Panabo City Police Station and faces appropriate cases.
Police are looking into jealousy as a possible motive as the victim and suspect were heard by neighbors arguing before gunshots rang out.
Further investigation is ongoing. (Tristan Lozano)
