A family was brutally gunned down inside their home in San Francisco, Camotes Island, Cebu late Wednesday night, December 12.
The victims, identified as Bernardo Sampan, 42, Narcisa Sampan, 41, and their 14-year-old adopted daughter Cleah Nicole Villamor, were shot by a suspect known only as “Randy.”
According to police, the attack happened at around 11 p.m. in Sitio Timubo, Barangay Cabungaan. Bernardo reportedly told his biological child to flee moments before the shooting. The child escaped unscathed.
