Pastor slain in front of daughter

MANILA, Philippines - A pastor was shot dead in front of his daughter in Quezon City Wednesday night.

Wilfredo Germedia, 36, was collecting payments for his newspaper distribution business, accompanied by his daughter, Lileth, 15.

Senior Police Officer 1 Joselito Gagaza said while Germedia was in front of a store in Barangay Commonwealth, two men shot him in the head at around 7 p.m. His killers fled on foot.

Gagaza said the attack might have been business-related, since the gunmen did not take Germedia’s money.

Crime scene investigators recovered slugs from a .9 mm pistol and a .45 caliber handgun.
