From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 10): 3 killed in Maguindanao clan war
Three persons were killed in two separate but related shooting incidents in a remote village here Sunday, police said today.
Senior Insp. Harry Gubat, police chief of Parang, Maguindanao, said the shooting was triggered by a long standing and deeply rooted family feud involving Muslim families in Barangay Sarmiento, Parang, Maguindanao.
Killed were Rahis Abu and Madrigal Ayunan who were taking coffee early Sunday morning when two men riding tandem on a motorbike shot them without provocation.
The two died on the spot due to multiple gunshot wounds in different parts of the body.
After ensuring the two have died, the suspects, both sporting crash helmets apparently to conceal their identities fled heading toward nearby Sultan Mastura town, also in Maguindanao.
Twelve hours later, at about 6 in the evening Sunday, Mohayden Mohammad Macasasa was inside a makeshift public market when shot by still unidentified gunman in the head in what police said was a retaliatory attack.
Macasasa, a tricycle driver, was rushed to the Cotabato Regional andMedical Center
Gubat said the suspects in the second shooting incident were relatives of the two victims in the early Sunday morning shooting.
Gubat said the protagonists were relatives and related by blood and by affinity who were all keeping personal grudge against each other, known among Muslims as "rido" or clan war.
To prevent the escalation of family feud, Gubat said he deployed peacekeeping forces in Barangay Sarmiento were the feuding families live.
