KORONADAL CITY --- Gunmen killed with assault rifles two villagers in an attack late Monday in an interior barangay in Surallah, South Cotabato.
The fatalities --- Helen Aspera, 54, and her nephew, the 34-year-old Gentry Domingo --- died on the spot from multiple bullet wounds.
Two men armed with M16 assault rifles reportedly crawled near the house of the victims, shot them through open windows and escaped.
Informants have confided to police investigators that Aspera was locked in a land dispute with another family.
