Mayor Jasper Que of this town has claimed that the May 4 slaying of broadcaster Richard Nadjid as an off-shoot of a love triangle. He said, "The findings of our police is love triangle. There are women involved and we don’t want to talk about it. We are not pursuing that issue anymore for the sake of the family." The killing drew ire and condemnation from Malacañang today.

Context Tawi-Tawi is an island province of the Philippines located in the autonomous region in Muslim Mindanao. The Philippines remained one of the deadliest countries in the world for journalists, with more work-related killings between 1992 and mid-2014 than any country except Iraq. Nadjid is the second member of the Tawi-Tawi's media community killed and the 27th under the Aquino Administration. Impact Richard is the 27th journalist killed under the administration of President Benigno Aquino. The deaths of Nadjid will shed doubt on President Aquino’s ability to stop the violence, after his announcement in April that a special committee would be formed to counter extra-judicial killings. Reactions NUJP said it is "disturbing" that Tawi-Tawi provincial police director Senior Supt. Joselito Salido has "immediately and baselessly dismissed the possibility of Nadjid’s murder being work-related”.
