ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines — Suspected Abu Sayyaf bandits allegedly shot and beheaded a villager they suspected of giving information that led to the arrest of one of their cohorts in Indanan, Sulu on Thursday.
Police said the still unidentified victim was killed in Barangay Kajadtian shortly after Sabor Hayudini, alias Sugo, was arrested.
The Sulu police said the suspects dumped the decapitated body of the victim a few meters away from the house of Hayudini.
A rifle, a pistol, two fragmentation grenades and a sachet of shabu were reportedly recovered from Hayudini.
Police said Hayudini was arrested based on a warrant issued by a court in Zamboanga Sibugay.
