3 die in North Cotabato shooting

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 9): 3 die in North Cotabato shooting

CAMP SIONGCO, Maguindanao -- A man armed with Armalite rifle shot dead three persons on Friday night in a remote village in Mlang, North Cotabato.

Reports reaching here said the man who was carrying an M-16 Armalite rifle contracted Ismael Talusan, 35, a motorcycle driver to bring him to the town of Mlang from nearby Kabacan town, also in North Cotabato.

Talusan was then accompanied by his brother Alamid, 23, and a friend named Guiambang when they left Kabacan at around 10:30 p.m.

At midnight, residents in Barangay Lika, Mlang heard a series of gun bursts in the highway.

The Mlang police, led by Inspector Rolando Dillera, immediately went to Barangay Lika and found two men lying dead on the concrete pavement of the Mlang-Matalam highway.

The two were later identified as the Talusan brothers based on their identification cards. About 50 meters away was the lifeless body of Guiambang.

The suspect took the victims' motorcycle.

Dillera said investigators are now coordinating with the Talusan family to help identify the suspect.
