SUBIC BAY FREEPORT – A business man based here was killed by two unidentified men this night.
The victim was identified as Dominic Sytin, President and Founder of United Auctioneers, a company engaged in the importation of second hand vehicles.
Witnesses say Sytin was about to enter the Lighthouse Resort and Hotel with some companions when the suspects approached him and shot him in the head.
Sytin was dead on the spot while a still unidentified person was wounded in the fatal shooting.
The suspects managed to get away using a motorcycle. Authorities are still investigating the motive of the killing.
Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority immediately issued a statement on the killing saying it condemns in the strongest possible term what is apparently a targeted assassination of a business locator in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone.
“This is sad news for us, not only because a prominent businessman who has been a very active member of the Subic Freeport community has fallen prey to violence, but also because one life has been snuffed out just like that,” SBMA Chair Wilma Eisma said.
“We condole with the family of the victim and pray with them that the perpetrators of this dastardly crime be identified at the soonest possible time so that justice can be served,” she added.
According to her, the SBMA at the moment is working with the Philippine National Police and other investigating units to flush out the killers.
“I have ordered at 7:28 p.m. a lockdown at all the Freeport gates as soon as I heard the sad news. I have also directed the SBMA SWAT team to double security at the gates and to thoroughly examine each person and every vehicle prior to their exit,” the SBMA chief said. (30)
