2 dead in latest attack in Cotabato

From the Philippine Star (Nov 5): 2 dead in latest attack in Cotabato

Two more were killed in an attack Sunday night by suspected guns for hire in a continuing cycle of violence here. The two latest fatalities have been identified as Chiter Ayunan Velasco and Fahad Utto Ambolodto, who both died from gunshot wounds in different parts of their bodies. Superintendent Marlou Martinez, the city’s deputy police director, told Catholic station dxMS Monday that investigators are still trying to determine the personal backgrounds of Ayunan and Ambolodto. Their cadavers were found sprawled several meters away from each other at the Notre Dame Avenue here after residents in the area heard gunshots. The murder of Ayunan and Ambolodto came less than two weeks after motorcycle-riding gunmen shot dead a former barangay chairman at the De Mazenod Avenue here. The incident was preceded by the murder of a couple inside a lodging house here by a suspected hired killer. More than a hundred people have been shot dead in a spate of attacks here since 2010.
