CALBAYOG CITY- The suspect in the hostage taking of a 19- year-old Park 'n' Go Bakeshop saleslady in Calbayog City in the morning of March 21, 2016, which resulted to the death of the victim, may not be in his right senses as he was observed by Police to be disoriented and uttering incoherent and unintelligible language.
When interviewed by the Calbayog Journal at the hospital where he is being treated for what police describes as self-inflicted wounds, the suspect, identified as Juvy Pugosa y Bendoy of Zamboanga Del Norte could not remember what had happened and couldn't tell where he is.
Pugosa reportedly barged into the bakeshop's inner room at around 7:45 a.m. yesterday and without provocation grabbed a paper cutter from a table then held the arm of a saleslady identified as Santa Orquin of Brgy. Buntay in Calbayog City and dragged her to the shop's comfort room where he locked themselves in.
Policemen negotiating with the suspect reported that Orquin pleaded to Pugosa not to harm her but the latter's response was incomprehensible. The police decided to break open the door when both the victim and hostage taker were no longer responding to the negotiators. Orquin was found bleeding from a wound in her neck. Pugosa's wounds were sustained during the scuffle with police.
