DAVAO CITY: Two drug suspects were killed and one was arrested in a sting in Digos City, Davao del Sur on Saturday evening.

The Digos City chief of police, LtCol. Vici Anthony Tababa, said the two slain suspects had resisted arrest and fired at police personnel, prompting them to retaliate during a buy-bust in Purok 9, Barangay Aplaya, Digos City.

One of the suspects was identified only as alias Ato. The other suspect’s identity was being established. Authorities were also able to arrest alias Sheka, 23, and a resident of Barangay Aplaya.

Recovered from the crime scene were a .38 caliber revolver, live bullets, fired cartridge cases and deformed fired bullets.

Also seized were 32 plastic sachets of suspected shabu weighing about 90 grams with an estimated value of P1.35 million, drug paraphernalia and an undetermined amount of cash.

The arrested suspect and confiscated pieces of evidence were brought to the police station while appropriate criminal complaints against Sheka were being prepared for filing in court.
