Hataman asks police to‘re-evaluate’ murder raps

MANILA, Philippines -- Anak-Mindanao Representative Mujiv Hataman is asking the Criminal Investigation Detection Group (CIDG) to “re-evaluate” the murder charges filed against him following a suspect’s withdrawal of his testimony that he was behind the killing of Basilan Representative Wahab Akbar.

Akbar and four other were killed in the Batasan bombing last month.

“Tulad ng lagi kong sinasabi [Like I always say], the truth will always prevail. I am hoping that the CIDG, with this recantation of Jamiri, would re-evaluate the case against me and my brother,” Hataman said in a phone interview on Monday.

“Kung yun [Jamiri’s testimony] ang basis ng CIDG in filing the case against me and my brother, of course malaking bagay ang pag-recant niya para ibasura ang kaso laban sa amin [If that [Jamiri’s testimony] will be the basis of the CIDG in filing the case against me and my brother, of course his recantation will carry weight in deciding to trash the case against us],” he said.

Three suspects in the November 13 blast at the Batasan Pambansa in Quezon City on Monday recanted their statements linking Anak Mindanao Rep. Mujiv Hataman, his brother Jim, and former congressman Gerry Salapuddin in the explosion that killed Basilan Rep. Wahab Akbar and four employees of the House of Representatives.

Hajarun Jamiri, former mayor of Tuburan, Basilan, Adham Kusain, and Caidar Aunal said their statements on the alleged involvement of the Hataman brothers and Salapuddin in the blast "were made under duress."

Jamiri told reporters during a press conference that he was tortured and forced to sign an affidavit implicating the Hatamans and Salapuddin.

Jamiri claimed that he was forced to testify against the Hatamans and Salapuddin after policemen under the CIDG, beat him. He claimed that he was also tortured from the time of his arrest on November 19 until the next day. He said his private parts were electrocuted.

Police arrested Jamiri in San Andres, Manila, for illegal gun possession. A .45-caliber pistol was recovered from him. Police reportedly recovered an improvised explosive device, supposedly intended for Akbar, in Jamiri's apartment in Manila.

Jamiri formally recanted his statement at the Justice department Monday afternoon. He was charged for illegal possession of firearms and is now out on bail.

"It is not true that the order to kill Congressman Akbar came from Mujiv Hataman and Jim Hataman," he said through lawyer Eduardo Arriba.
