Manila - Former Batangas Governor Antonio Leviste, the former husband of ex-Senator Loren Legarda, shot dead his aide inside his office on Friday noon for a still unknown reason.
Supt. Gilbert Cruz, chief of the Makati City Police, said Leviste confessed to shooting Rafael delas Alas at the 9th floor of the LPL Tower on Legazpi St. at around 12:30 pm after a heated argument over an undisclosed issue.
“The investigation will determine why the shooting took place,” Cruz said in a phone interview.
Cruz said Leviste surrendered to authorities after the incident and was immediately arrested.
However, his blood pressure shot up, prompting police to bring him to the Makati Medical Center, where he is currently under tight guard.
Cruz said Leviste will be charged with homicide./DMS
