The Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) has established the
identity of the suspect behind the Sept. 18 bombing of a passenger bus in this
city.
Sr. Supt. Angelito Casimiro, ZCPO director, said Monday
identity of the suspect was established through the description given by
witnesses and victims of the incident.
Casimiro declined to name the suspect pending the filing of
appropriate cases in court.
A 14-year-old girl was killed while 33 others, including a
one-year-old child, were wounded when a bomb exploded aboard a passenger bus at
the terminal in Tomas Claudio
Street
The ill-fated bus is one of the units of the D’ Biel
The family also owns and operates buses and vans in Basilan
province servicing the Isabela City-Lamitan City route and vice-versa.
Casimiro said the artist sketch derived from the description
of the witnesses and victims matched with the photo at the rouge gallery of a
threat group member.
The police refer threat group to group of lawless elements
and other criminal syndicate.
“We got the rouge gallery of the different threat group
members and showed it to the witnesses and to the victims and they pointed to
just one individual,” Casimiro explained how they established the bombing
suspect’s identity.
He said they were just completing the needed documents in
preparation for the filing of the case against the suspect.
He said the motive of the incident was extortion citing the
suspect belong to the same group responsible in previous bombing of a bus owned
by D’ Biel Transit Company.
Three people were killed while one was injured when a bomb
exploded on Sept. 20, 2013 in one of the buses of the same company while parked
at the storage area in Barangay Labuan, 36 kilometers west of City Hall.
The motive of the 2013 incident was also extortion.
