Who done it?

August 21, 1983 - Hundreds crammed into the arrival terminal of NAIA as Ninoy Aquino emerged, home from his self-imposed 3-year exile in the US. Seconds later, the staunchest Marcos critic was killed by a bullet to the head. The assassination was allegedly the deed of Rolando Galman who was shot dead by the military moments after Ninoy in the same tarmac. As Ninoy planned his homecoming, he allegedly received death threats from Marcos to dissuade him from returning.
Marcos' motive was clear but he was recovering from a kidnet transplant when the shots rang. This could be a cover-up but giving the benefit of the doubt to Marcos, who orchestrated the assassination? Notorious Gen. Fabian Ver was a candidate. With Marcos ailing, Ver would be poised to take power in the country's Martial Law. In a government commissioned investigation, Ver was tagged as the mastermind but in the end these findings were thrown out by the Sandiganbayan. The First Lady has also been accused because Imelda would lose it all should Ninoy topple Marcos. Rumors say that Marcos pleaded Ninoy not to return, saying it would not be his hand that would stop him but Imelda's. Unlikely mastermind as well was Juan Ponce Enrile, spearhead of the People Power Revolution that ended the dictatorship. His secret motive: Ninoy would be the catalyst to spark the revolution he needed to overthrow Marcos and put him in power.
Despite this, 16 soldiers were charged with perpetrating the crime. Some say that Gen.Fabian Ver confessed what happened behind the assassination of Ninoy at his deathbed but until now, the truth remains hidden.
