Alleged drug pusher to celebrities slain

Victim is actress Maritoni Fernandez’s sister

A woman who allegedly supplied illegal drugs to celebrities was shot dead in Quezon City before dawn yesterday. Ma. Aurora Moynihan, 45, of Ecology Village in Makati City, was found dead shortly after she was dumped at the corner of Temple Drive and Giraffe street in Barangay Ugong Norte, said Police Officer 3 Anthony Tejerero, case investigator. Moynihan is a sister of actress Maritoni Fernandez, said Quezon City Police District (QCPD) director Senior Superintendent Guillermo Eleazar. Witnesses told police they heard five gunshots from a sport utility vehicle – with Moynihan inside – a few minutes before she was dumped, Tejerero said. The witnesses said the vehicle sped away, heading toward White Plains Avenue, leaving the victim behind. Moynihan was found with a placard that read “pusher ng mga celebrities kasunod na kayo (pusher to the celebrities you are next).” Recovered from the victim’s bag were sachets said to contain shabu, four pieces of aluminum foil, two improvised glass tooters, three improvised lamps and some personal belongings. Eleazar said he will call for an investigation of Moynihan’s killing, considering it as a “death under investigation.” He did not set aside the possibility that Moynihan was delivering illegal drugs in Quezon City. Eleazar said the QCPD is currently monitoring celebrities in Quezon City who are allegedly linked to the illegal drug trade
