Cops: Sulu 'general' believed to be ex-MNLF commander
The Sulu ‘general’ whom the security forces killed few days ago is believed to be former Moro National Liberal Front (MNLF) commander Haji Musa, said Sabah police commissioner Hamza Taib.
“We believe it’s him, we had found his clothes, but when he was shot, he was not wearing uniform,” he told a press conference at Felda Sahabat Beach Resort, Lahat Datu today.
He was responding to a question on whether one the 22 corpses of the self-styled ‘Sulu royal army’ members, currently placed at the Tawau and Lahat Datu hospitals for post-mortem, has been identified as Haji Musa.
However, Hamza (right) was unable to give further confirmation as more evidence is needed to conclude this matter.
“I can’t say whether he’s Haji Musa, as it only can be proven when the investigation is completed.
“When the corpses were recovered from Tanjung Batu, I had seen the status of the dead body, but I can’t confirm positively.
“Because when I would like to confirm it positively, I must have solid evidence, such as documentation and an identity card,” he added.
He said that the Forensics Department had yet to reply to him over this matter.
