Two Army troopers belonging to the 65th Infantry Battalion
based in Saguiaran, Lanao del Sur were gunned down by unidentified armed men at
around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at Pangarungan village in Marawi City .
Inspector Parson J. Asadil of Marawi City
police station identified the victims as Sgt Jhon Bernas Saballe and
Sofronio Saliling Grame, Jr.
Saballe was declared dead on arrival while Grame died a
few minutes after undergoing treatment at Amai Pakpak
Medical Center
in Marawi.
Asadil said the two victims were at the market for some
purchases and to gather more information on the shooting of an ABS-CBN news
team on Saturday when they were shot.
The police official denied there’s a breakdown of law and
order in Marawi. He maintained the situation is under control despite the
series of killing and shooting incidents.
“The murder case of the late Police Inspector Al Abnir Wahab
Santos who was ambushed was elevated to higher court in Manila since two of the prime suspects were
police from Lanao del Sur,” Asadil said.
Col. Roseller Murillo, commanding officer of 103rd Infantry
Brigade based in Kampo Ranao has ordered putting up checkpoints at
possible exits and track down the suspects.
He said a closed-circuit television footage in a nearby
establishment captured the images of the suspects that could lead to the
identity of the assailants.
