Two suspects in the killing of former tabloid editor Gwenn Salamida were arrested by operatives of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) in Barangay Commonwealth last Friday, Sept. 3.
According to DZBB report, the suspects were identified as Nilo Payag Anub and Richard Alaba.
Based on the report of La Loma Police Station, the suspects were nabbed at around 7 p.m. on Sto. Niño St. in Brgy. Commonwealth.
The report said the QCPD Station 1 immediately launched a follow-up operation after reviewing all the CCTV footages in the area where the crime happened.
