DAVAO CITY (MindaNews/15 February) — A policeman is presently under investigation as one of the suspects in the February 10 shooting of a Moro peace advocate in Pagadian City who died early Thursday morning in a private hospital there.

Prof. Alber Husin, 36, a Tausug anthropologist who served as Program Officer of the Indigenous Peoples and Muslim Education Program of the Department of Education in Western Mindanao, died at 4 a.m. at the Pagadian City Medical Hospital where he was confined and operated on.

A total of four bullets were reportedly fired at Husin at Hiker’s Place, Purok Bahada, Dao, Pagadian City at around 8:30 pm. Sunday, a family friend of the Husins told MindaNews.

The friend said Husin dodged the three bullets as he managed to run about 500 meters away. But the bullet that hit him pierced through his right torso and lodged in his left arm. It “passed through his intestines, liver, kidneys, diaphragm and some portions of his lungs,” the friend said.

Pagadian City’s OIC police chief Julius Munez neither confirmed nor denied reports that a policeman was among the suspects.
