                    [Summary] => Roger Lawrence "Rod" Strunk is still a suspect in the November 2001 murder of his wife, actress Nida Blanca.


The Department of Justice (DOJ) yesterday filed charges against Strunk and confessed hit man Pedro Philip Medel for Blanca’s murder.


Another person, Vicente Polinar, was also charged with murder in connection with the Blanca slay case before the Pasig Regional Trial Court. Polinar allegedly accompanied Medel in conducting surveillance of the Atlanta Centre in San Juan town where Blanca’s body was found.

Philippine National Police (PNP) investigators alleged that State Prosecutor Emmanuel Velasco too readily dropped the murder charges against confessed killer Philip Medel Jr. and an alleged accomplice, Mike Martinez, as well as the parricide case against Blanca’s American husband, Rod Lauren Strunk.
