Frustrated murder charges filed in Hilongos bombing

From the Manila Bulletin (Feb 23): Frustrated murder charges filed in Hilongos bombing

Camp Kangleon, Palo, Leyte – Police filed multiple frustrated murder charges against the suspect in the bombing in Hilongos, Leyte, that injured 32 people last December 28.

Chief Supt. Elmer C. Beltejar, Eastern Visayas police chief, confirmed on Thursday the filing of the charges against Jake Anthony Macuto, said to be a member of the Maute Group.

Beltejar said three other suspects were charged with Macuto.

A crowd was watching an amateur boxing fight at the Rizal Plaza during the town fiesta when two explosions rocked the place.

Beltejar said an investigating team was still trying to identify Macuto’s three companions.

The police urged the public to report any suspicious persons and items and help the police and other law enforcement agencies by providing information that will lead to the identification and arrest of the suspects.
