Government authorities arrested a police officer in Mindoro, charging him with the execution murder of deDO talk show host Crispin Perez Jr. Police officer Darwin R. Quimoyog was identified by Perez’s wife as the trigger man. While many murders of journalists go unsolved in the Philippines, authorities were able to track the officer from eyewitness accounts of the motorcycle Quimoyog used to flee after the murder. Perez was the fourth journalist killed in the Philippines this year. His case is the only one that produced a suspect and arrest. The motive behind the murder of Perez, who was a former politician and governor, remains unclear.
