MANILA (MindaNews/24 March) — The Department of Justice finally began its preliminary investigation into the  murder of news photographer Reynaldo “Bebot” Momay, the 32nd  media victim out of 58 victims  in the November 23, 2009 massacre in Ampatuan town in Maguindanao, with a hearing at Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan, Taguig on March 22).

The case of Momay, photographer of the Tacurong-based Midland Review, is the last of the 58 victims to be investigated by the justice department.

Momay’s remains  have yet to be found hence the delay in his inclusion in the cases filed days after the massacre by relatives of the 57 other victims.

The only clues to his apparent death were  his dentures recovered in the  massacre site and a list of media workers who joined the entourage, found concealed in the sock of one of the journalist victims.

Momay’s daughter, Reynafe ‘Neneng’ Momay-Castillo said she was grateful the case of her father is finally gaining ground.

“Twenty eight months after.  All we want is justice for my father,” said the nurse who has not gone back to work in her quest for the prosecution of her father’s killers.
