DAVAO CITY—Charges were filed against the alleged killer of the Idar family that was massacred in Baracatan, Toril this city at dawn on Tuesday.

Police Chief Inspector Ronald Lao, commander of Toril Police Station, said charges of multiple murders were filed against Romulo Eblahim Teleron by Prosecutor Peter Paul Tombo on Tuesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, the case against Nilo Teleron was filed on Wednesday morning.

Lao said a hot pursuit operation continues against Nilo who allegedly escaped after the killing.

At dawn Tuesday, Percy Angin Idar, his wife Carlita and their 12-year old son, John Kiser, were killed in their house by Romulo and Nilo who were brothers of Carlita.

The two suspects were fingered by the two Idar children who survived the massacre.

The four year-old son and the teenage daughter of Idar told authorities they saw Romulo hacking their brother and Nilo shooting their mother.

Romulo, who was arrested in his house after the Idar children identified him, denied involvement in the massacre.

Lao said initial investigation revealed that a land dispute may be the motive behind the killings.

Allegedly, a family member of Telerons sold their land without the consent of the other siblings.

Percy sustained a gunshot wound in his neck, while a bullet entered the lower right portion of Carlita’s head and exited through her right check.

The 12-year-old boy, on the other hand, was hacked in his nape.
