Last photo of Edwin Valero before he committed suicide in a Venezuelan jail.

Manny Pacquiao told Abs-Cbn news that he was shocked when he found out that Edwin Valero murdered his wife Jennifer Valero and later killing himself in his jail cell.

“Nagulat ako nang malaman ko ang nangyari (I was surprised when I heard of what happened),” said Pacquiao to ABS-CBN.

“Nakikiramay ako sa pamilya niya, ipagdasal na lang natin siya (I condole with his family, let us pray for his soul),” he included.

Pacquiao and Valero were familiar with each other, although not close friends, Pacquiao invited Valero to his December 2008 birthday bash in the Philippines, after he defeated Oscar De La Hoya.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, said he was grooming Edwin Valero for a big showdown with Manny Pacquiao prior to this tragic event.

“I was grooming him as a great future opponent for Manny Pacquiao. That would have been a sensational fight,” Arum said
