CEBU CITY - The former wife of suspected drug lord and fugitive Kerwin Espinosa was shot dead, Friday.

According to initial reports from investigators, Annalou Llaguno, 30, was riding a motorcycle with her partner when three people riding another motorcycle followed them, and shot her twice in the head.

A .45-caliber pistol was recovered from the crime scene, but authorities had yet to establish the identities of the suspects.

Llaguno sold jewelry for a living, but investigators said they are looking at the crime as a drug-related incident as she also used to be in a relationship with Cebu's top drug lord Jeffrey "Jaguar" Diaz, aside from being Espinosa's ex-wife.

Diaz died in an alleged shootout in Las Piñas in June, while Espinosa went into hiding when the government cracked down on illegal drugs.
