Second Peruvian journalist killed by hitmen in year
Cape Argus
|May 09, 2025
A PERUVIAN journalist was gunned down this week by hitmen as he was travelling to work in the Amazon city of Iquitos, the second such murder this year, prompting global condemnation.
-
Raul Celis Lopez, the 70-year-old host of a news show on Radio Karibena who was a well-known voice in the Peruvian Amazon, was killed as he was heading to work by motorbike taxi at around 5.30am, the National Association of Journalists (ANP) wrote on X.
Lopez had regularly discussed the violence of the armed gangs that plague Iquitos on his popular programme.
In January, the owner of a regional TV channel, Gaston Medina, who also had reported on Peru’s extortion epidemic, was shot and killed as he was leaving his house in the south-central city of Ica.
