DINAS, ZAMBOSUR—One of the suspects in the shooting of a member of the 905th Provincial Mobile Group (PMG) surrendered to the authorities three days after the incident.
Police cornered Omar Kadingilan, a.k.a. Kalabaw, in Brgy. Zambulawan, this town. He eventually surrendered after seeing police operatives surrounding him and ready to take him down anytime.
A police report obtained by this paper stated that Kadingilan was one of those who shot PO3 Dexter Dalena and a police asset identified as Ronald Edo while both victims were riding Dalena’s XR 200 motorcycle enroute to Camp Abelon, Jan. 27.
The suspect’s capture came after PNP Provincial Director Ramon Ochotorena prompted all police units to conduct a manhunt operation to get Kadingilan and his still to be identified companion.
The 906th PMG, under C/Insp. Romulo Suarez and Dinas Police Chief Norhasan Failan, were the first to come and cordon Kadingilan’s hiding area.
Suarez and Failan said that Kadingilan gave up after a negotiation was brokered by Zambulawan village chair Jumra Amander and the policemen for the suspect’s peaceful surrender.
