From the Philippine Star (Mar 8): Rebel
nabbed for 2003 slay of Masbate broadcaster
After more than nine years, authorities finally arrested the other day a leader
of the New People’s Army (NPA) tagged in the killing of Masbate-based
broadcaster Nelson Nadura.
The suspect, Rowel Caballero Vargas, alias Ka Weng, a former member of the
NPA’s executive committee in Bicol, carried a P150,000 bounty and was the third
most wanted in the region, said Senior Superintendent Renato Bataller, Bicol
police spokesman.
Vargas faces murder and rebellion charges before the Regional Trial Court
Branch 47 in Masbate City.
A joint police team arrested Vargas in Barangay Lanang, Aroroy town in
Masbate on Wednesday.
Nadura was gunned down by two men while leaving radio station dyME in Masbate
City on his motorcycle on Dec. 2, 2003.
Nadura was himself a former NPA leader in Bicol who was granted amnesty in
1998 and subsequently joined the broadcast media.
