BIR officer killed in Zamboanga Sibugay, linked to previous slay

An Internal Revenue Officer II of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay, Jude Soriano Nario, 47, was shot dead on Friday evening, November 7.

He was with his wife outside a restaurant when two unidentified men on a motorcycle shot him multiple times before fleeing.

Nario's killing occurred just four days after two BIR security guards, Arcadz Dawila Muharal and Dante Miro Jamie, were found dead inside the same office.

Investigators recovered evidence indicating a caliber .45 pistol was used in the attack on Nario.

Nario had been detained the previous day for carrying an unlicensed semi-automatic rifle but was released on bail hours before he was killed.

Local officials believe the two incidents are related, with the gunman in the guards' deaths also stealing the office's CCTV storage disk.
