NPA rebels gun down fish vendor suspected of being a military asset

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 5): NPA rebels gun down fish vendor suspected of being a military asset

New People's Army (NPA) rebels shot dead a fish vendor who they suspected of being a military and police informer at about 10:00 a.m. Saturday in Barangay Buenos Aires, San Fernando, Masbate.

A police report identified the victim as Bobby Azares Jr., 45, married and resident of Barangay Panisihan, Batuan, Masbate.

The report said Azares was on board his motorcycle with the fish he was selling when men armed with .45-caliber pistol flagged him down.

Thinking the men would be buying fish, he showed the merchandise to them but two young-looking men shot him in his head and body, causing him to fall on the road.

The assailants then casually walked away from the scene after telling bystanders that Azares was a military and police asset who gave authorities information about the rebels' activities in the village.

Police recovered empty shells of .45-caliber pistol in the crime scene.
