Five persons were killed, including a 4-year-old girl, and
two others were wounded in an ambush by unidentified gunmen in Barangay
Dulangan, Datu Odin Sinsuat (DOS), Maguindanao on Monday afternoon, police
said.
Chief Inspector Lindsy Sinsuat, DOS town police chief, said
manhunt is still ongoing.
He identified the fatalities as Hajda Bai Lilang Ayunan, 50;
Pinky Rose Ayunan, 28; a 4-year-old baby girl; Baby Boy Pasawilan, 21; all
residents of Barangay Kalanganan Mother, Cotabato City and Kago Kasan, 30, driver
of Matanog, Maguindanao.
“The relatives who claimed the victims’ remains told police
it was triggered by a rido (family feud),” Sinsuat told reporters.
Two other relatives, Manawir Ayunan, 27 and Norhan Ayunan,
19, were wounded in the 4:30 p.m. ambush.
All the seven victims were on board a brand new red Toyota
Innova (YS3539) from Gen. Santos City and heading back to Cotabato City
when the suspects, on board a pick-up vehicle, overtook the Innova and opened
fire using M-16 armalite rifle and cal. 45 pistol.
Police recovered empty shells for cal. 45 pistol and
armalite rifle at the crime scene.
Quoting witnesses, Sinsuat said the suspects were allegedly
tailing the Innova from Barangay Dalican, DOS until it reached Barangay
Dulangan.
Police said all the five fatalities were killed on the spot.
Passersby rushed the two wounded persons to the hospital.
Witnesses also said that after the first gun bursts, the
suspects alighted from the vehicle and fired more shots.
Sinsuat said police investigators are also looking at other
possible motive aside from family feud.
