Two more alleged members of an Islamic State-inspired local terrorist group were killed in separate operations in the last two days in Polomolok town, South Cotabato province.
Capt. Randy Apostol, deputy chief of Polomolok municipal police station, identified the slain suspects as Jomari Doma, 18, and Dimas Talib, 58, who were listed as members of the Nilong sub-group of the Dawlah Islamiyah-Hassan Group.
He said Doma, a resident Sitio Batotitik in Barangay Basag, Tboli town, was arrested around noon Tuesday due to a warrant of arrest over the ambush last month of former Barangay Rubber chairperson Moner Kinjiyo.
As the suspect was being brought to the police station aboard a patrol vehicle around 1:15 p.m., he reportedly attempted to grab the service firearm of one of his escorts.
As they grappled for control of the firearm, it went off and hit the suspect, who was eventually declared dead upon arrival at the municipal hospital.
Apostol, in a report released on Thursday, added that Talib was killed in a shootout with operatives during a buy-bust operation past 9 a.m. on Wednesday in Purok San Miguel, Barangay Klinan 6.
He said the suspect resisted arrest after selling a sachet of suspected shabu worth PHP500 to a police officer who posed as a buyer.
Talib reportedly drew a handgun and opened fire, prompting them to retaliate. The suspect was fatally wounded in the ensuing firefight and declared dead upon arrival at the municipal hospital.
Recovered from the suspect was a homemade handgun, PHP500 marked bill, a sling bag containing an M26 fragmentation grenade, two sachets of suspected shabu worth PHP6,800, and a motorcycle.
Citing their investigation, Apostol said Doma and Talib were active members of the Nilong sub-group, which had been tagged in a string of criminal and terror activities in the area.
“These are considered as hardened criminals and assigned to monitor the movements of the local police,” he said in a separate radio interview.
Apostol said Talib was reportedly involved in the killing last April 29 of two policemen in Barangay Koronadal Proper and a tricycle driver on June 13 in Poblacion.
