Staff Sergeant Almudzrin Hadjaruddin, Pat. Alkajal Mandangan, and Pat. Rajiv Putalan of the Sulu provincial police drug enforcement unit also showed up at the hearing.
Likewise present were Philippine National Police chief Gen. Archie Gamboa and representatives from the National Bureau of Investigation .for the death of Major Marvin Indammog, Captain Irwin Managuelod, Sergeant Jaime Velasco Jr., and Corporal Abdal Asula. They were dispatched by the Joint Intelligence Task Group and the Task Force Sulu after technical intelligence detected the possible location of two female suicide bombers and the maker of their suicide vests.
An investigation by the NBI showed that the police officers simultaneously attacked the Army Intelligence officers without “the opportunity to defend themselves.” Contrary to the claims of the police that one of the victims had a gun, the NBI said witnesses said that Indammog did not carry a firearm when he alighted from their vehicle.“Ang pinakamasakit sa lahat ay ‘yung sinasabing ang mga sundalo ay nagsasabi na ng ‘tropa, tropa’ pero patuloy pa din silang binabaril. Indeed, this is nothing if not cold-blooded murder,” Senator Risa Hontiveros, one of the senators who filed a resolution calling for a Senate inquiry on the matter, said.
