MANILA – This morning, April 20, the Communist Party of the Philippines confirmed in a report posted by Ang Bayan the deaths of spouses Benito Tiamzon and Wilma Austria along with eight other guerrilla forces.
The CPP said that the 10 were captured alive last year and were subjected to heavy torture before they were killed by the Philippine military. Their remains, the CPP added, were then put in a motorboat and later detonated in the waters of Catbalogan City to “hide all evidence of the ignominy of their fascist crime.”
The statement disputes earlier military claims that the couple was killed in a gunfight on August 22, 2022.
