The suspect was later on killed by an angry mob while resisting arrest.
Laguna provincial director Col. Randy Glenn Silvio identified the victim as Roilan Mendes Ilao.
The suspect was Randy Contreras Perez.
Police said Ilao’s live-in partner, Marites Sulit, was Perez’s former “wife.”

Perez left Sulit unhurt.
The suspect was about to escape when cornered by responding barangay police security officers and an angry mob.
He was rushed to JP Rizal Hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival by attending physician Dr. Ramoncito Lopez due to severe injuries.
