From ABS-CBN (Aug 25): NPAs kill retired cop linked to human rights abuses

The armed men then ordered Capiring to turn over his firearms. The victim surrendered his caliber .22 revolver with live ammunition.

Insisting the victim still had his M-16 rifle, the suspects then shot Capiring's knees before aiming at his head and body.

In a radio interview in Cagayan de Oro, NPA North Central Mindanao spokesperson Allan Juanito admitted the rebels were behind the ex-cop's killing.
