PDEA said two other John Does who are relatives of the suspects are also believed to be involved in the ambush.

The victims had just finished conducting a program for drug surrenderers in Tagoloan town and were on board a van on their way to Marawi City when they were waylaid by gunmen on Friday.

PDEA alleged that Oscar Capal Gandawal organized close relatives for revenge against government agents following the death of Macapagal.

Further investigation is being conducted by the military and police on the whereabouts of the suspects, PDEA said.
