THE Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) has released the computer-generated sketches of the two persons behind Thursday night’s bombing that killed one person and injured 10 others in the city.

Senior Superintendent Angelito Casimiro, ZCPO director, said Monday the computer-generated sketches were based on the descriptions provided by witnesses.

Casimiro said both suspects are males. The first suspect is described as having dark complexion, weighing about 70 to 75 kilos, 45 to 50 years old, medium built, and 5’4” to 5’5” in height.

The second suspect has the following description: complexion: fair, weight: 65 to 70 kg, age: 50 to 55, built: medium, and height: 5’2” to 5’4”.



The suspects were seen to have gone to the Manly massage parlor and KTV bar looking for Geraldine Miguel prior to the bomb explosion, according to Casimiro.
Miguel was killed while 10 others were wounded when a bomb exploded around 9:47 p.m. Thursday at the Manly KTV bar and massage parlor along San Jose Road in the village of Zone II.

Casimiro said Miguel was the main target since she is one of the witnesses of the case they filed against the suspects behind the November 9, 2014 bombing of the Deluxe massage parlor and videoke bar along Tomas Claudio Street downtown.

The November 9 bomb explosion has injured a policeman assigned with the explosive ordnance demolition and “Diego,” the bomb-sniffing dog.

Casimiro said the suspects in Thursday night’s bomb explosion are suspected members of the Abu Sayyaf Group that threatened to stage attacks against government forces, who are on rest and recreation in the city.
