Galvez lauds Army’s arrest of suspect in beheading of IP leader
A suspect, identified as "Alias Tagal" and believed to be a member of the Dawlah Islamiyah terror group, was arrested by soldiers in Maguindanao del Sur.
The arrest was made by the Army's 601st Infantry Brigade, along with Maguindanao police, during a law enforcement operation.
Alias Tagal is accused of involvement in the beheading of Ramon Lupos, a 60-year-old Teduray chieftain, on September 30.
Lupos was reportedly executed because he refused to vacate his farm, which is part of the tribe's ancestral domain.
Presidential Peace Adviser Carlito Galvez Jr. commended the military forces for the swift and successful operation.
Authorities recovered a caliber .45 pistol and a mobile phone from the suspect during the arrest.
