He was already on trial for the double murder of his political opponent's ally and his son when he perpetrated the rape-slay of two students of University of the Philippines-Los Baños.
— The crimes of former Calaunan, Laguna Mayor Antonio Sanchez, who was sentenced to nine reclusion perpetua, is on the spotlight once again with what may be his possible early release from prison.
On June 28, 1993, UP Los Baños Agriculture students Sarmenta and Gomez were waiting inside a Toyota Tamaraw van outside the Agrix Complex in the campus. At 1 a.m. the next day, a crying and disheveled Sarmenta — who was missing her shorts — was dragged out of the resthouse. En route to Calauan, Kawit dragged blood-drenched Gomez from the van to the road and finished him off with a single gunshot from his ArmaLite. The young student was left there.
