Journalist Murdered in David

10 years ago
The Chiriqui community and the Catholic Church today deplored the killing of journalist Ramón "Monchi" Cano, that occurred the morning of Tuesday April 1st at his residence. He was born in 1933 and was an institution on Chiriqui Radio on his talk show.

The Bishop of Chiriqui, Monsignor José Luis Lacunza, demanded that the national police and the public prosecutor's Office do what they can do to stop such violence in the future.

Sanchez Deidamia, University teacher and leader of the civil society said "We must take to the streets to show these criminals that we will not allow more of this type of violence"

It was a robbery in his home, as two banditos shot him in the head, leaving him seriously wounded on the floor.

The official of the national police in Chiriqui, Julio Lasso, confirmed that the assailants took the victim’s portfolio.

According to the official, the subjects visited the residence of the journalist, who refused entry to the thieves and he was shot.

Even President Ricardo Martinelli had reported on his Twitter account that "Ramon Cano, broadcaster, was in the Regional Hospital in Chiriqui and needed blood type A positive."

The killings are on the rise in Chiriqui. January 2014 until today, there have been 16 murders, against 27 counted in the year 2013.
