While the government is studying an alternative version of events in the Mamasapano clash, a member of the elite Special Action Force unit sent against Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir alias Marwan said they were the ones responsible for his death.
"Kami talaga ang pumatay doon. Napakalaking imposible naman na sila ang pumatay doon. Hindi naman sila iyong pumasok doon.," a source from the 84th Special Action "Seaborne" Company of the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force said in a report on GMA News TV's "State of the Nation with Jessica Soho on Monday.
"Kami talaga ang makakapagsabi ng eksaktong totoo kasi kamis mismo ang nandoon, kami mismo ang um-assault," he said.
The survivor explained that he was inside Marwan's hut when the fighting happened.

The survivor, who spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons, made the statement in response to a newspaper report quoting an unnamed Moro Islamic Liberation Front source that said Marwan was killed by an aide.
The survivor added that the SAF has proof that it was their team that really killed the terrorist.
"Meron kaming pinanghahawakan pero hindi puwedeng ilabas eh," he said. "Iyong actual na nandoon kami na nagkakaputukan talaga."
A GMA News source said that the SAF survivor was referring to drone footage taken by a US agency that was monitoring the movements of the SAF troopers.
The results of a separate Moro Islamic Liberation Front investigation also differed from statements made by SAF troopers involved in the mission.
In an interview with Philippine Daily Inquirer, MILF chief peace negotiator Mohagher Iqbal said the truth is contained in their report.
The report said that Marwan had already been killed before SAF reached his hut.
But former SAF chief Getulio Napeñas Jr. has dared the MILF to prove their statements.
"Ilabas nila ang iyong ebidensya at iyong tao or iyong witness na siya nga ang pumatay kay Marwan. On our side, hawak namin iyong mga solid, credible pieces of evidence na SAF troops ang pumatay kay Marwan," he added.
Meanwhile, PNP Director General Ricardo Marquez said that he is planning to review the findings of the police Board of Inquiry formed to investigate the clash between the SAF and members of the MILF, the breakaway Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, and other armed groups that happened as a result of the operation.
