Suspects in Davao City bombing arrested, presented to media

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Three suspects in the Davao City night market bombing were presented to the media Friday afternoon in Camp Aguinaldo — over a month after the blast that killed 15 people and injured 69 others.
Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the three suspects, who were arrested last Tuesday in a mobile check point in Cotabato City, were members of the Maute Group — Islamist militants linked to terrorist organizations.
They were identified as:
  • TJ Macabalang, 30 y/o, the trigger man who made the phone call that detonated the IED
  • Wendel Facturan, 19 y/o, the one who placed the IED at the market. He was the one who had a massage, wearing a bonnet and a face mask
  • Musali Mustapha, 19 y/o, the person who took a cellphone video of the incident
