2 arrested in House employee Mauricio Pulhin's killing

Two individuals have been arrested for their involvement in the killing of House of Representatives employee Mauricio Pulhin.

The suspects, identified as a middleman and a lookout by police, were apprehended separately in Caloocan and Quezon City on Monday.

According to Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo, the middleman confessed that he was hired for P30,000 by a live-in couple with whom Pulhin had a personal dispute over qualified theft and estafa allegations.

Pulhin, who worked as chief of technical staff at the House Committee on Ways and Means, planned to file charges against the masterminds.

On June 15, Pulhin was shot and killed during what appeared to be his daughter's birthday celebration at a private venue in Quezon City.

Police have filed murder charges against the two arrested suspects and are now looking for four others who remain at large.
