Police said two masked motorcycle gunmen fatally shot the 62-year old Federico Gempesaw in the head on June 29 in the village of Carmen. Gempesaw just stepped out of a taxi when he was attacked.
It said the assailants, who waited for Gempesaw,
escaped after the murder. Gempesaw had a news program on Radyo Natin and
previously worked with the local government.
Col. Aaron Mandia, the city police chief, said Gempesaw
fell into a canal after being shot and that the victim’s son rushed to aid his
father. “Investigation revealed by the witness
in the area said he heard two gunshots and upon verification he saw the victim
already lying lifeless at the canal area and then later on, the victim’s son dragged
his father out of the canal,” he said.
Mandia said the radio man was shot in the face and at the back of his
head. “Recovered during the crime scene processing by the SOCO (scene of crime
officers) team were the two pieces of fired cartridges of .45-caliber,” he
said.
“I encourage the responsive public to
coordinate with the concerned police authorities for any valuable information
you may know, particularly the identities of the suspects which is helpful to
the on-going investigation and for possible arrest of suspects,” he said.
No group claimed responsibility for the murder. (Mindanao
