of Lumbaca-Unayan, Lanao del Sur Mayor Somerado Guro that killed his wife and wounded his
driver in Iponan, Cagayan de Oro on Wednesday, June 3, 2020.

gunmen. His driver, Ibrahim Gani, was slightly wounded while his staff was unharmed.

"We consider that but can't give an exact motive as of this moment. We will get all the details
so that we can give a concrete motive of the case," Vinas said.
