CCTV footage examined to identify attackers of Fortun’s wife

MANILA, Philippines - Police are looking into the video footages of CCTV cameras to identify the attackers of the wife of lawyer Raymund Fortun.

Southern Police District (SPD) director Chief Superintendent Jose Erwin Villacorte said they are now looking at the video clips taken by CCTV cameras installed along the street and those on the houses of Fortun’s neighbors in BF Homes in Almanza, Las Piñas.

Villacorte said they would try to enhance the CCTV clips to identify the gunmen that attacked Caroline Fortun last Thursday.

Fortun said the type of gun used in the shooting of his wife is still being determined as police investigators have yet to find the bullet that hit the victim in the right cheek and exited at the nape.

He said Caroline is now in stable condition at the Perpetual Help Hospital.

Fortun earlier expressed belief that the gunman who shot his wife Caroline was really after him. However, he did not elaborate on what could be the motive of the gunmen.

Fortun said Caroline recalled how she was attacked, saying that she remembered two men tailing her on a motorcycle.

Caroline was parking her car when the two gunmen approached her from behind.

Police said one of the men pulled out a gun and shot Caroline at close range. The gunmen then fled on a motorcycle.
