Two lumberjacks were killed by four gunmen, including three clad in camouflage uniforms, in a remote barangay of Zamboanga del Sur, a police official disclosed Monday.
Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) spokesman Chief Insp. Ariel Huesca, quoting a belated report, said the incident took place around 7 a.m. Saturday at Sitio Campo Uno, Barangay Dongos, Dinas municipality.
Huesca identified the victims as Rodulfo Clarin and Cristopher Tagayan, both residents of Barangay Sungoy of the nearby
Investigation showed the victims were cutting down coconut trees when the suspects appeared and without provocation opened fire instantly killing the victims, Huesca said.
The three of the four suspects, who were clad in camouflage uniforms, could be known to the suspects since they were wearing masks when they shot the victims, he said.
The responding team of policemen have recovered 12 empty shells of M-16 Armalite rifle at the crime scene while the victims’ chainsaw was missing, he said.
