MANILA, Philippines, Feb 4 (NNN-PNA) – A main suspect of the deadly twin blasts hitting the southern Philippines late last month has surrendered to the authorities, the chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP) said today.
PNP Chief, Director General Oscar Albayalde, said, the suspect, identified only as Kamah, denied involvement in the church bombings that killed 22 and injured more than 100 others on Jan 27 in Jolo, southern Sulu province.
Albayalde said Kamah, a student, turned himself in, along with four others over the weekend in Jolo.
Police claimed that Kamah, an alleged member of the Abu Sayyaf’s Ajang-Ajang sub-group, was seen near the church before the explosions.
Four other “suspects” in the blasts, who were spotted on a street surveillance camera, also came forward last week to deny the allegations. They were all cleared by the police.
