CITY – Unidentified gunmen killed two unarmed persons suspected to be
communist guerillas on Sunday last week in a hinterland village in
Dumingag town, Zamboanga del Sur, a province in southern Philippines. Police
identified one of the victims as Junny Gumipay, 24, married and resident
of Barangay (village) Saad in Dumingag. The other victim was only known as
“Ka Delfin.” Police
Inspector Mansueto Martinez, Duminga police chief, said the two were
riding a motorcycle from the nearby village Dilod when they were stopped
by 10 armed men upon reaching the village of Dulop at about 10 a.m. on
Sunday, July 4. After
divesting the victims of their backpacks and other personal belongings,
the assailants shot them with M-16 rifles and a 12-gauge shotgun. Empty
shells were recovered from the crime scene. The
driver was left unharmed. He immediately reported to the nearest
detachment of the 10th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army, about a
kilometer away from the place of incident. The victims suffered multiple gunshot wounds, mostly in the back. Bulatlat.com We want to know what you think of this article.
