Colombian radio presenter shot dead

A Colombian radio host, Milton Fabián Sánchez, has been murdered. A masked man who had been hiding in the bushes outside Sánchez's home shot him three times in the face. Sánchez was host of three weekly programmes on a radio station and, on occasion, was critical of the performance of the local government. He is the second provincial radio journalist murdered in Colombia this year and five others have been forced to flee following threats. The Committee to Protect Journalists is investigating whether there is a connection between Sanchez's murder and his work. (Via cpj.org)
