CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City -- Two former communist rebels were executed by suspected members of the New People’s Army in Surigao during the Holy Week, the army’s 75th Infantry Brigade reported here Saturday.
Lt. Jolito Borces, spokesperson of the army’s 75th IB, said Julieto Acebedo Piling, alyas Dimple Cocoy, and Rodel Garcia, alyas Brital, both residing at Purok Nangka Tunnel 15, Road 17, Barangay Consuelo, Bunawan, Agusan Del Sur were found dead in Bayugan 3, Agusan del Sur with multiple gunshot wounds on their bodies.
Borces said about 15 men believed to be members of the NPA North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee abducted the victims at gunpoint while visiting a friend in Bunawan, Agusan del Sur in the night of March 23, 2013.
He said the bodies of the victims were found the following day dumped in the hinterlands of Sito Blue Tent, Purok 12, Barangay Bayugan 3, Rosario, Agusan del Sur.
Witnesses told the military that a certain Renato Sayasat, an NPA team leader, led the rebels armed with AK 47 and M16 assault rifles in the abduction and killing of the former NPA victims, Borces said.
He said the 75th IB deployed a combined police and military team to haunt the suspect.
Charges were also filed against the suspect in the local court of Agusan del Sur.
