Last of Muktadil brothers killed

From The Star Online (Sep 30): Last of Muktadil brothers killed

The last remaining member of the notorious Muktadil brothers, responsible for kidnap-for-ransom activities has been killed.

Badong Muktadil, the last of the six brothers who rained terror along Sabah’s east coast between late 2013 and 2015, was found dead in a pump boat near Siasi island after fleeing Philippines military operations on Tuesday when two of his brothers, Nelson @ Nikson and Braun @ Brown, were killed near Poh Tambulian, Daung­dung, on Pata island.

“All six of the brothers have been neutralised. They will no longer be a threat in cross-border crimes,” an intelligence officer told The Star on condition of anonymity.

He said Badong escaped but sustained injuries in a shootout during the operation against the brothers at their hideout.

 

“He managed to get into a pump boat and headed towards the Mususiasi area in Siasi island, close to Jolo. On the way, he succumbed to his injuries,” the intelligence source said, adding that the dead man had been confirmed to be Badong.

Early on Tuesday, Philippine crack troops captured Nelson and Braun from the hideout. But they were killed hours later when they tried to escape while being escorted out of Pata island.
