A Lebanese businessman and his Filipino wife were killed by a lone robber who barged into their establishment in this city yesterday morning.
Fahed Hamdan died while being treated for gunshot wounds at the Zamboanga City Medical Center. His wife, Anora, died at the scene of the incident that occurred at past 5 a.m. at the corner of Cervantes and Pilar streets.
Investigation showed the suspect, armed with a .45-caliber pistol, barged into the couple’s printing and internet shop, and declared a heist.
Probers said the couple tried to resist, prompting the suspect to shoot Anora.
Hamdan reportedly tried to grab the gun, but he too was shot.
The suspect escaped on a waiting motorcycle, police said.
Responding police officers recovered a pistol, ammunition and bullet shells at the crime scene.
Probers have yet to identify and arrest the suspect
