Incident
Colombian journalist murdered after receiving death threats
Details
Peralta, 63, worked for the Linda Stereo radio station, an affiliate of Caracol Radio, and was killed near his home in the town of El Doncello, Flip said in a communique.
The journalist's wife was wounded in the attack and was taken to a hospital, where doctors say her life is not in danger.
The veteran newsman had told a colleague that he had received threats, although he provided no further details and did not report the threats to the authorities, Flip added.
According to the foundation, Peralta was well known for "engaging in exposure journalism and his voice was heard in five cities in the northern part of the province."
In 2010, police defused a bomb that had been left in front of the radio station and was designed to be detonated using a cell phone.
