Chinese who killed own girlfriend dies

Chinese National Gong Zhun Yan Suspect for killing his own girlfriend shot himself.

A Chinese national, who admitted he was behind the murder of his Chinese girlfriend, has committed suicide Saturday night.

This happened while the police were escorting suspect Go Shung Young to the Manila City Hall for the inquest proceeding of his case.

SPO1 Charles Duran said Go grabbed his .9 mm caliber gun and fired it at his chin.

"Nung binbaybay namin yung Taft Avenue, pagdating sa may Ayala, paghinto nung mobile namin nahulog yung mga documents ko. Yung iba nalaglag kaya yumuko ako para abutin, para kukunin ko. Maya-maya nagulat ako ginrab niya yung baril. Paglingon ko biglang pinutok na niya,” Duran said.

Authorities rushed him to the Philippine General Hospital.

The suspect, however, was declared dead on arrival at 9:45 p.m.

According to Duran, they did not expect that Go would commit suicide.

"Mabilis ang mga pangyayayari. Nagulat rin kami. Hindi namin akalain na gagawin niya yun dahil tahimik lang siya," he said.

Go was supposed to face charges of murder, theft and traffic violation. His car was seen on closed-circuit television camera ram into his girlfriend on January 14. He then got off his car and repeatedly stabbed her on the chest.

“Pag-aaralan pa namin kung isa-submit pa namin yung mga documents doon sa prosecutor ngayong wala na siya,” Duran said.
