PNP offers P1-M reward to get killers of 7-year-old girl in Parañaque

The Philippine National Police is offering P1-million reward for information leading to the arrest of suspects behind the kidnap-slay of 7-year old Clarissa Pizarra, whose decomposing body was found on March 5 in a creek in Parañaque City. In a press release on Saturday, PNP Chief Director General Nicanor A Bartolome also expressed the condolences of the PNP leadership to the family of Clarissa Pizarra and vowed to get to the bottom of this crime “whatever it takes.” Touched by the fate suffered by the girl, Bartolome himself mobilized the investigative arms of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), Southern Police District (SPD) and Parañaque City Police Office to unearth the facts and give justice to Clarissa. "I have personally instructed the police commanders of these units to maximize all available resources and manpower to solve this case at the soonest possible time," Bartolome said. The Chief PNP said the P1-million reward will come from the PNP Reward System managed by the Directorate for Intelligence. “We hope the reward will hasten and complement our investigation and provide sufficient leads to identify and prosecute those behind this 'sick' crime," he added. Clarissa was last seen on February 20, the day she was snatched by unidentified men in Barangay San Dionisio.  Her body was found on March 12 at the Balitahar Creek area. — LBG, GMA News
