He was supposed to graduate in Criminology but criminal elements ended this dream when they shot him dead. The victim was identified as one Mark Kevin Orejines, 19, a native of Barangay Liboron, Calape town and a graduating Criminology student at Mater Dei College in Tubigon. Investigators from the Clarin police station learned that the victim and his girlfriend were riding his motorcycle on their way to Clarin about 10:30 pm last Sunday. They were on their way to the home of the victim's girlfriend from Calape. When they reached Barangay Buacao in Clarin, they were stopped by two men riding a motorcycle. The suspects demanded that they turn over the motorcycle driven by Orejines but the victim refused. This prompted the suspects to shoot the victim before fleeing the scene while the victim's girlfriend shouted for help.
The victim was rushed to a hospital in Tubigon but he was declared dead on arrival. Police investigators are still looking into the case to determine the identities of the suspects. Meanwhile, a farmer is in guarded condition after he was stabbed while planting rice in Pilar town.
