Murdered Politician Photographs His Gunman In Family Picture Taken Just Before His Death

Now, this is legitimately unnerving. In the Philippines, Councilman Reynaldo Dagsa was taking a photograph of his family on New Years when he was shot dead. However, when the family looked at the photo (below) later, they realized the politician had caught his own murderer in the act. Police later used the picture to arrest the men involved.

The picture was taken just after midnight. The photo shows Dagsa about to be killed by a man named Michael Gonzales who was arrested on Monday. Behind the family, the picture also shows Rommel Oliva, another man who was apparently acting as look out. He was also arrested.

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer:

“Chief Inspector Cresencio Galvez, Caloocan police intelligence chief, said the suspects were known car thieves and holduppers out on bail. It is likely that they bear a grudge against Dagsa who had them arrested last year, he said.”

Pretty sad for the photographer and his family.

When Michael Gonzales gets sent to jail, he will wish he would have thought this through a lot more.

In hindsight… at least it was a crappy camera.

Interesting photo. That elbow angle is a tell, if you couldn’t see the gun. Of course the photographer would have been looking at his family, who apparently weren’t paying too close attention to their surroundings before the photo. Smarter assassins would have stolen the camera afterwards or moved to the side….

Not a surpirse it was two males. Males do 80% of all the murders but at least they kill other males most of the time so if you want to find a murderer, look for someone with testicles.
