MANILA -- Former senator Loren Legarda's estranged husband was arrested Friday for fatally shooting one of his aides inside his Makati office, police said.
Antonio Leviste, former Batangas governor, surrendered to authorities and was brought to the Makati Medical Center under heavy guard after his blood pressure shot up, said Superintendent Gilbert Cruz, the city’s police chief.
Leviste admitted to killing his aide, Rafael delas Alas, on the 9th floor of the LPL Tower along Legazpi Street at around 12:30 p.m. Friday, Cruz said in a phone interview.
“He surrendered to authorities after the shooting. Then, his blood pressure shot up,” Cruz said, explaining why Leviste was brought to the hospital.
“The investigation will determine why the shooting took place,” Cruz said. He refused to give additional details.
Leviste could be charged with homicide, the police chief said.
