POLICE said that politics is being eyed as motive in the killing of a barangay kagawad who was shot dead in front of her young son in Quiapo, Manila.
The victim Stella Sky Lim, a councilperson of Barangay 383, was walking home with her 11-year-old child when men riding a motorcycle approached and shot her, according to a report on GMA’s 24 Oras newscast.
One of the suspects was arrested and Manila police said they were looking at politics as a motive in the crime, the report said.
But the chair of Barangay 383 told GMA that she also could not see any possible motive that could lead to the crime.
“Yung imbestigador, nung tanungin ang asawa niya ano ba ang motibo, ang sabi nya may nakaaway may umiipit daw sa kanila, sa utang nila. Yun lang yun alam nilang away. May nakaalitan [din] sila sa parking,” Zobaida Sharief said.
