WHO'S killing journalists and why?
His guess may be only as good as yours. The country's top investigator is admittedly at a loss on why media practitioners are getting murdered.
"I'm going nuts, I'm angry on why these killings are happening," Philippine National Police chief Edgar Aglipay yesterday told reporters.
Since he assumed office on Aug. 23, Aglipay said at least seven media men had been killed, bringing to 15 the number of slain journalists this year alone.
"Even if we solved five of the seven killings, what's more important is for the killings to stop," he said in Filipino, shortly after a dialogue with the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines that was also attended by representatives from the judiciary, the Senate and the National Bureau of Investigation.
