3 killed in clan war

MAGUINDANAO, Philippines – Three members of two Moro clans locked in a “rido” or family feud were killed in a spate of vendetta killings in Parang, Maguindanao on Monday, police said.

Senior Inspector Harry Gubat, Parang police chief, identified the fatalities as relatives Rashib Abu, 40, and Madrigal Ayunan, 38, and Mohaiden Macasasa, 37.   

Abu and Ayunan were having coffee together at a roadside house in Barangay Landasan, Parang town when two motorcycle-riding men arrived, barged in and shot them with .45-caliber pistols, killing them on the spot.

Ten hours later, two suspected relatives of Abu and Ayunan gunned down Macasasa in a public market in another village in Parang.
