Investigators said the victims, who were engaged in the money-lending business, were on their way back to nearby Lucena City after their routine collection in Lucban when they were attacked.

They have yet to determine a motive for the killing but robbery was ruled out after police recovered the cash the victims had collected from their clients in their vehicle.
