DAVAO CITY – Police have tightened security at a custodial facility where Pandag Mayor Khaddafe (Khadafeh) Mangudadatu alias ‘Toy’ is being held on murder charges for allegedly killing a Muslim couple 12 years ago in Sultan Kudarat’s President Quirino town.
Mangudadatu, a former member of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, was captured by policemen at a posh hotel in Davao City recently after an arrest warrant was issued by the court for the killings of Abdulah and Lalaw Ligawan in October 7, 2010 in the village of Sinakulay.
Police are also hunting three other suspects – Zajid Mangudadatu, Tunggal Usop and Mamayang Amino – in connection to the murder charges. Judge Samina Sampaco Macabando-Usman, of Branch 20 of the Regional Trial Court, who signed the arrest warrant on September 9, recommended no bail for all the accused.
Mangudadatu was rushed to hospital following his arrest, complaining of chest pains and difficulty in breathing. But the results of the series of medical tests were all normal, according to Capt. Richard Ebero, medical officer of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group.
