Relatives of one of the “Fallen 44” Philippine National Police Special Action Force commandos bewailed the mutilated state of the body of their kin.
The family of Police Inspector Joey Gamutan, whose remains lie in his hometown Zamboanga City, said that hands and legs of the SAF member were mutilated. He was also almost beheaded.
“Sana ‘yung binaril, wala na. ‘Wag na ‘yung ano pa, inano ‘yung leeg, pinutol ‘yung mga braso nila doon. Kung hindi ‘yun ginanoon sa punerarya, parang gi-repair lang ‘yung kanyang katawan, wala na ‘yung ulo niya,” Gamutan’s uncle Rodrigo Sakristan said in GMA News’ TV newscasts on Wednesday.
“Ang hihingiin ko lang sa ating gobyerno, bigyan naman nila ng hustisya ang pangyayari,” his father also said.
Gamutan was part of the special unit sent to Mamasapano, Maguindanao to serve arrest warrants against Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir alias Marwan and Filipino bomb maker Abdul Basit Usman on January 25.
