MANILA, Philippines — Police collared one of the suspects in the shooting of a British national in Pasay City on Friday afternoon.
In a report, the Pasay City police said they arrested Abubakar Datumalo, also known as “Randan” or “Abit” after they received complaints about a well-known robbery suspect carrying a firearm tucked in his waistline.
Police arrested Datumalo, a suspected member of the so-called “Sputnik,” along Bagong Cuneta St. in Barangay 190, Zone 20, Pasay City, at around 5 p.m.
Seized from the suspect were a Colt caliber .45 pistol, seven live ammunition, and four small sachets of suspected shabu (crystal meth).
Datumalo is one of the two suspected gunmen that shot British national Liliford David last May 19 on Beachcraft St. in Barangay 190, Zone 20.
Datumalo is facing charges for violation of Republic Act No. 10591 or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunitions Regulations Act and RA 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. (Editor: Eden Estopace)
