ILOILO CITY: A younger brother of slain suspected drug lord Melvin Odicta Sr. has asked for forgiveness and recon-ciliation from people who may have been harmed by the elder Odicta.

Noel Odicta, chairman of Barangay Tanza Esperanza here, said Melvin Sr., known in the underworld as “Dragon,” may have lived a life by the gun but remains a good brother to his family and friends.
