Police sketch, P1.3M reward out for killer of trader Richard King
A P1.3-million reward has been offered in exchange for information leading to the arrest of the suspected killer of businessman Richard King.
Police in Davao City have released a computer-generated sketch of the suspected killer, GMA Davao reported on Tuesday.
The sketch was posted on the Facebook page of GMA Davao's "Una Ka Bai!"
The composite sketch, based on witnesses' accounts, described the gunman as being 5'5" tall, of medium build, and about 30 to 40 years old.
King's family initially offered P200,000 for information leading to the killer's arrest, then raised the amount to P1 million on Tuesday. Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has also offered a P300,000 reward for the killer.
The report said the police in Central Visayas are also helping in the investigation.
King was shot dead in Davao City June 12, according to an earlier report by GMA Davao's Tek Ocampo on "Balita Pilipinas Ngayon."
According to initial information, King was eating inside his establishment when an assailant entered and shot him, then fled aboard a motorcycle.
Police investigation was hampered by the lack of closed-circuit security cameras.
King reportedly owns the Crown Regency Group of Hotels. — Joel Locsin/BM, GMA News
