WATCH | QCPD forms task group to investigate BIR exec’s ambush
MANILA, Philippines – The Quezon City Police District has formed a special investigation Task Group Amora to look into the Monday morning ambush of Bureau of Internal Revenue regional director Jonas Amora.
Amora died on the spot while his driver, Angelito Pineda, was seriously wounded when gunmen opened fire on his car at the corner of C5 Road and Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City.
The QCPD is reviewing the CCTV footage taken at the scene of the crime and will be gathering more video footages along the route taken by Amora from Marikina to Quezon City. It is also coordinating with his family and co-workers to determine whether his death was related to his work at Makati Revenue Region 8.
QCPD director Senior Superintendent Guillermo Eleazar said the ambush was well planned and executed with ten bullets directly focused on the target.
Robbery did not appear to be the motive after more than P300,000 was recovered from the slain official’s vehicle.
A P1 million reward has been raised for information leading to the arrest of the assailants.
