Ting Nephew "ordered" Ambush Over P20M Debt

[Mr Lee]

Once again it seems money was the motivator for the hits on the Hotel owner and his brother. CEBU, Philippines - The gunman was a 16-year-old, and the alleged mastermind was a nephew who owed the victim P20 million. That, in summary, was the conclusion of the police investigation on the ambush that left businessman Nicolas Ting injured in Mandaue City last June 21. Larry Ting, son of Nicolas’ late elder brother, was identified by Edwin Juab, founder of the notorious Trece Hudas Gang, as the one who hired him last December 3 to gun down Nicolas. Senior Supt. Melvin Ramon Buenafe, Regional Intelligence Division chief and designated head of Task Force Ting, and Cebu City Police Office Director Patrocinio Comendador, presented to the media yesterday the four persons they arrested. Aside from Larry and Juab, also arrested was the gunman Mark (real name withheld for being a minor), who was tasked by Juab to kill Nicolas. Jordan Miral, driver of the motorcycle, was also caught.
