MANILA, Philippines—A suspect in the killing of Jolo’s former police chief was a relative of one of the Army intelligence agents shot and killed in the Sulu capital in 2020 allegedly by nine Jolo policemen, according to Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Debold Sinas on Monday (Feb. 1).

“Most likely that’s one of the angles that they took vengeance,” Sinas told reporters on the sidelines of the PNP anniversary in Camp Crame. He did not say who among the suspects was related to one of the slain Army officers.

Sinas said the PNP had already filed complaints against seven suspects in the killing of Lt. Col. Walter Annayo, former Jolo police chief, in Maguindanao in 2020.
