Cockfighting is a popular blood sport in the archipelago where money is bet on the outcome of a fight - often to the death - between two colourful birds armed with bladed spurs.

MANILA - A Philippine police officer was killed during a raid on an illegal cockfight after a rooster's blade sliced his femoral artery, an official said Tuesday.

It has been banned along with other sporting and cultural events during the coronavirus pandemic to prevent large crowds from gathering and spreading the contagion. Monday's freak accident in the central province of Northern Samar happened when Lieutenant Christian Bolok picked up a fighting cock as he gathered evidence of the unlawful event.

Its blade struck his left thigh and he bled to death, provincial police chief Colonel Arnel Apud told AFP."I could not believe it when it was first reported to me. This is the first time in my 25 years as a policeman that I lost a man due to a fighting cock's spur." Three people were arrested and two fighting cocks seized along with two sets of spurs in the raid in San Jose town where Bolok was the police chief, Apud added.

Ballistics link firearm to Senzo Meyiwa murder, says police chiefThe breakthrough in soccer icon Senzo Meyiwa's murder came when the team of investigators discovered the firearm that killed him, says police commissioner Gen Khehla Sitole. Catch Them All! hahaha soon it will be ignored again the moment it links well known people. This case WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE because there is a lot of people involved already and a lot of money that was paid to silence people and cover up all the evidence. The arrested are innocent now
