The Philippine National Police (PNP) is set to request a search warrant for a motorcycle suspected to have been used by the assailants in the killing of Albay broadcaster Noel Samar.
Samar was fatally ambushed by motor-riding gunmen in Guinobatan town on Monday and died the following day from gunshot wounds.
PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Randulf Tuaño stated that the search warrant application is based on CCTV footage reviewed by their cyber team.
While specific details are being withheld due to the ongoing investigation, Tuaño indicated that the motive might be work-related, as there are no current reports of specific personalities targeting Samar.
Samar was known for his work as a block-time commentator for DWZ radio station and manager of the online media platform Kadunong ITV.
The Albay provincial government is offering a P25,000 reward for information that could lead to the apprehension of the suspects.
