DAVAO CITY President Rodrigo Duterte may have been

misinformed when he reported that terrorists who had rampaged
through Marawi City beheaded the police chief of Malabang town in
Lanao del Sur.

Mr. Duterte said on Wednesday that the police chief, whom he did not
identify, was stopped at a checkpoint on Tuesday by the gunmen who
decapitated the officer right then and there.

occupied just two months earlier.

Im still alive, Senior Insp. Romeo Enriquez told the Inquirer by

phone on Thursday.

Authorities said five soldiers and two police officers were killed in
clashes with Abu Sayyaf and Maute group fighters.

Freddie Manuel Solar as police chief of Malabang two months ago.
Solar was shot, not beheaded by his killers.

The body of the other officer, Insp. Edwin Placido, deputy police chief
of Marawi still has not been retrieved as of this writing.
