Witness says police set up ‘rubout’ victim

A witness has claimed that the police “set up” a robbery so that Robin Villarosa, who was shot dead last week by policemen, would be caught red handed.

Mark Joseph Manalo, 21, alias “Dagul”, admitted that he was part of the police plan to capture Villarosa, who was linked to a number of robbery incidents near the University of Santo Tomas.
