Donny Buchelli Cueva, Peru

Forensic reports indicate that radio journalist Donny Buchelli Cueva was tortured and killed in the province of Pacasmayo on July 8, 2014. His body was found at his home by a relative on July 10, 2014. The National Association of Journalists in Peru (ANP) said that authorities should not discard the theory that the crime was related to Cueva’s work as a journalist, as his recent reports had raised ethical questions about a number of political candidates running for the local mayor’s office. Cueva was the host of the radio programme Más Noticias, which airs on Más Radio.
