MANILA – Defense secretary Delfin Lorenzana announced on Friday the arrest of three members of the Maute Group who are allegedly behind the bombing of a night market in Davao City last month that left 15 people dead.
At a press conference, Lorenzana said the three were nabbed on Oct. 4.
“The three terrorists have direct participation on the Sept.2 Davao bombing,” Lorenzana told reporters.
At least 15 people were killed while 70 others were injured when an explosion rocked the Roxas Night Market.
President Rodrigo Duterte, who was in Davao City during the bomb attack, had declared a state of national emergency on the account of lawless violence in Mindanao.
The Davao City government has offered a P3-million reward for information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect.
Earlier reports stated that the suspect, wearing a mask, had a massage minutes before the bomb attack. The suspect allegedly had eight companions.
Nine people have already been charged with multiple murder and frustrated multiple murder in connection with the bombing. (GMA News)
