ro Manila (CNN
Philippines) — The police created on Wednesday (February 17) a task group to
look into the killing of a radio reporter based in Pagadian City, Zamboanga del
Sur the day before.
This
developed as investigators remained facing a blank wall regarding the identity
and motive of the assailant in gunning down Elvis Ordaniza.
Ordaniza,
49, who worked for DXWO, was shot dead Tuesday evening inside his house in Pitogo
town by a lone gunman. He sustained two gunshot wounds in the chest from a
caliber .45 pistol.
The
assailant then fled on foot after the crime, based on an initial investigation.
Provincial
director, Senior Supt. Michael Mendoza Nicolas, said that investigators of Task
Group Ordaniza were looking at various possible angles behind the murder.
Nicolas
said that one possible angle could be related to the fact that the victim was a
former communist guerilla.
