Acorda: 2nd suspect in killing of Oriental Mindoro journo identified

The second suspect in the fatal shooting of radio broadcaster Cresenciano “Cris” Bunduquin in Oriental Mindoro last week has been identified, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Benjamin Acorda Jr. said Monday.

“Based on the updates from our regional office sa (Police Regional Office) 4B, ‘yung kaso is I think ready na for filing. Identified na rin ‘yung second suspect,” Acorda said at a press conference.

(Based on the updates from Police Regional Office 4B, I think the case is ready for filing as the second suspect has already been identified.)

“We will be giving the specifics, especially the names, once na we will be able to file the case,” he added.

Acorda also said authorities have already received information about the location of the suspect. A reward worth P150,000 is also being offered for the capture of the suspect, he added.

Acorda refused to divulge information on the possible motives behind the killing to avoid preempting the result of the investigation.

Bunduquin was shot dead in front of his sari-sari store in Calapan City on the morning of May 31 by two men on board a motorcycle. Bunduquin was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital but was declared dead on arrival.

One suspect identified as Narciso Ignacio Guntan died in a motorcycle crash while they were being pursued by the victim’s son shortly after the shooting incident. The other suspect was able to flee.

Acorda on Friday said Bunduquin’s killing was an “isolated” incident. —KBK, GMA Integrated News
