AFP vows to unmask killers of bishop’s brod

From the Philippine Star (Mar 20): AFP vows to unmask killers of bishop’s brod

The military has vowed to unmask those behind the killing of a younger brother of Davao Archbishop Emeritus Fernando Capalla in Oton, Iloilo last Saturday.

Maj. Ray Tiongson, spokesman of the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division, also denied that the military had a hand in the gun-slaying of Romeo Capalla, 65, in front of the Oton public market.

“We are conducting our own investigation to help unmask the real perpetrators behind this crime,” said a senior military official, adding that the killing of Capalla, a former New People’s Army leader in Panay, could be related to a financial squabble with his former colleagues.

Capalla’s death came after a series of killings in Western Visayas of key leaders of the Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade, a breakaway communist group which has forged a peace pact with the national government.
