A frustrated murder complaint was file against self-confessed Davao Death Squad member Edgar Matobato by one of his victims in Digos City, Davao del Sur, on Friday, September 23.
The complainant, Abeto Salcedo Jr., named Matobato as the gunman who shot him at close range coming out of the Department of Agriculture (DAR) provincial office in Digos City last October 24, 2014.
"I could not be mistaken," Salcedo said, noting that only his car's window separated him from the gunman.
Salcedo sustained three bullet wounds that remains lodged inside his body to this day.
A retired adjudicator of the DAR in Southern Mindanao, Salcedo was accompanied by his lawyer when he filed the frustrated murder complaint against Matobato at the city prosecutor's office.
Assistant City Prosecutor Jehrameel Libre received Salcedo's complaint and advised they have 60 days to decide whether or not to pursue the case in court.
Matobato said on Thusday during a Senate hearing that he had no involvement in the attempted murder of Salcedo and that he was under the Witness Protection Program at that time.
