Witnesses say the men who attacked a police team were 'very aggressive and violent,' like they were 'possessed,' and believed their amulets made them bulletproof.
DAVAO CITY, Philippines – A rivalry for leadership within a cult-like group in Davao City turned bloody on Wednesday, July 26, as a tribal warrior and a former militiaman launched a brutal attack on policemen who had been dispatched to a village to pacify the conflicting parties. The policemen were hacked, stabbed, and shot.
In a statement, the Davao City Police Office condemned the deadly attack and mourned the deaths of the two law enforcers, adding that their demise was a significant loss to the police organization and their fellow police officers. An initial police report showed that a group, composed of corporals Corsino and Donald Ombrete, and their aide, Richard Mendoza, went to the area and asked Landas’ father, Angelito Maanib Landas, to talk to his son and calm him down.
Investigators said Chief Master Sergeant Lague was killed during an exchange of fire with Landas at a nearby compound. Both were killed.
