Albuera
Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr. was killed inside his cell at the Leyte
Sub-provincial Jail in Baybay city on Saturday morning, November 5.
Philippine
National Police (PNP) Regional director Elmer Beltejar told GMA News Espinosa
was shot dead by an unknown assailant.
Beltejar
added the Criminal Investigation anf Detection Group (CIDG) was set to serve a
warrant on Espinosa.
“It was a
warrant application. It was purely CIDG. Walang coordination with PNP Region
8,” he said.
Espinosa was
considered a high-profile detainee after being named by President Rodrigo
Duterte as one of the biggest drug traffickers in Visayas.
