Mima Alicia MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police (PNP) has identified the two suspects and linked a syndicate to the killing of Mima Alicia, a vlogger who reportedly supports President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. “We are hot on their tracks. We’re still following them now,” PNP public information chief Col. Allen Rae Co told reporters in a chance interview at Camp Crame on Tuesday. “We’ve identified the suspects behind the killing of the Caloocan City vlogger. Most probably, they are syndicate members or were hired by a syndicate to kill Alicia,” he added. “We’re still profiling them and their previous activities. One of them has multiple prior cases.” Article continues after this advertisement READ: Cops probe online activities of slain pro-Marcos vlogger Co, however, declined to provide further details on the identities of the two suspects and the alleged syndicate behind the killing, citing the ongoing police operation.
