The body of Robert Hall, the Canadian national beheaded by Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) bandits last June 13, has been dug-up and recovered in Sulu Saturday morning.
Major Filemon Tan, Western Mindanao Command spokesperson,
said Hall's decaying remains were recovered by troops of Joint Task Group (JTG)
Sulu around 11:35 a.m. in Upper Kamuntayan ,
Talipao.
"The body is currently being brought by the troops to
JTG Sulu Headquarters at Barangay Busbus, Jolo , Sulu for documentation before
turn over to the PNP SOCO (scene-of-the-crime operatives)," he added.
Hall was beheaded by the ASG last June 13. His head was
later recovered by civilians in front of the gate of the Jolo Cathedral.
Hall, together with John Ridsdel, Kjartan Sikkengstad and
Marites Flor, was abducted last Sept. 21 at the Ocean View Resort in Barangay
Camudmud, Samal City
Sikkengstad is the only remaining kidnap victim with the ASG
as Flor was freed by her kidnappers last week.
The Western Mindanao Command decries the barbaric act of the
ASG in beheading its captives which can be described as contrary to the Islamic
teachings.
Focused military operations in the area are being undertaken
to neutralize the Abu Sayyaf members and possibly rescue the remaining kidnap
victim.
