Probers recovered 10 empty shells and three live ammunition from the gun.

Limcangco reportedly owned fishponds and also engaged in buy and sell of cars and lending business.

“Sa CCTV, nakita na may dalawang taong pumasok sa gate. Ang isa suot red helmet at ang isa black helmet kaya hindi mamukhaan. (In CCTV, two persons were seen entering the gate. One was wearing red helmet while the other one was black helmet, that’s why, they cannot be recognized),” Cruz said.
