From InterAksyon (Sep 4): PNP eyes 3 suspects in Davao blast
The Philippine National Police is looking into the involvement of two females and a male as three persons of interest in last Friday's explosion, according to PNP Chief Ronald dela Rosa.
In a press conference Saturday evening at Police Regional Headquarters in Camp Catitipan, Dela Rosa said witnesses pointed to three persons who could have left or blown off an improvised explosive device (IED).
Dela Rosa, however, would not give further details on the three personalities. He was not also sure if the three are still in the city.
Dela Rosa said they are cross-matching the three personalities with a gallery of 10 terrorists.
Dela Rosa said they were also waiting for the post-blast report of the Explosives Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit.
Initial findings, Dela Rosa said the IED was crafted from a mortar round based on the fragments taken from the blast area.
According to him, the explosive is closely similar to the signature IED of Abdul Manap Mentang, the suspect in the Valentine's Day bombing of the Davao City Ecoland Terminal in 2005.
Mentang remains at-large, but Dela Rosa said it is possible he was involved in the Sept. 2 night market explosion in Roxas Friday.
Meanwhile, PRO XI Director Manuel Gaerlan confirmed they have eight witnesses who could help in their investigation, but refused to give their identities.
Dela Rosa met with members of the Regional Peace and Order Council and chiefs of city and provincial police offices.
