MANILA: A lawyer and three other people were charged yesterday in connection with twin blasts in Quezon City last week, with police officers alleging that the suspects have a long-standing dispute with the purported targets of the attack.
Lawyer Jesus Abeleda Jr, his partner Susan Bulda and two other still unidentified men were slapped with two counts of frustrated murder and three counts of malicious mischief before the city prosecutor’s office, said Senior Superintendent Richard Albano, director of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD). He said the four suspects may be arrested once a court issues a warrant for their arrest. Albano described the two explosive devices that went off in Barangay Ramon Magsaysay as “improvised,” using the chemical dinitroluene or DNT that is used as a precursor of the high explosive trinitroluene or TNT.
