Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 7) – The number of casualties from the brutal assassination of Gov. Roel Degamo has risen to 10 after a victim on Sunday died of gunshot wounds he sustained in the massacre.
On March 4, gunmen entered the home compound of Degamo while he was meeting with constituents and opened fire. The governor and eight others were killed, while 17 were wounded.
Fredilino Cafe Jr. became the 10th fatality as a result of the so-called Pamplona Massacre.
“We mourn the passing of Fredilino Cafe Jr., also known as ‘Putok,’ from the Provincial Engineering Office of Umanod, Santa Catalina,” a statement from the late governor’s official Facebook page read.
“His death marks the tenth victim of the Negros Oriental massacre that occurred two months and three days ago in the residence of Governor Degamo,” it added.
