Taliño also said that they are considering Niño as the primary suspect in his wife’s death. He also cited a witness’ statement that Niño and Gisela were having an exchange of heated argument and shouting at each other.

“Unang-una, identified siya noong primary witness natin na nandoon siya habang nag-aaway yung mag-asawa, then nagsisigawan sila. Nakita yung isang sasakyan na ginagamit ni Board Member Boniel near doon sa diving camp.”

“May lumalabas na impormasyon na itong isa, siya yung nakakita kay board member kaya nagpatong-patong, very obvious na si board member ang mastermind,” said by Taliño quoted by Philstar.

The couple has been married for already 5 years and experienced numerous misunderstandings, especially in money matters. Leyson said that Niño once rants when he knew that his wife bought a watch amounting P2.5 million through a loan.

Leyson also said that Gisela wants an annulment with Niño believing that she was only used by her own husband, who was also an ex-mayor of Bien Unido. Taliño cited the report issued by the Commission on Audit (COA) regarding the Niño’s different discrepancies in government transaction during his term.

The financial problem, family problem, and alleged third-party prompted Gisela to put an end to her marriage with Niño, according to Taliño.
