Senator Aquino asks PNP chief Razon
to look into Camiguin extrajudicial killings

Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III has asked newly-appointed Philippine National Police Director general Avelino Razon Jr. to take immediate steps to address the rash of extrajudicial and unsolved killings in the province of Camiguin.

Aquino, who is chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Government, said he received reports from Camiguin residents that death squads were roaming the streets of Camiguin and were responsible for the killing of one Luc-Luc Dayao, a suspected financier of a local illegal numbers game called Suertres.

"The province of Camiguin should be included in the PNP's list of priority provinces that have reported an alarmingly high number of unexplained killings."
