A background check of Edgar Matobato, the Senate hearing witness who claimed to be the hitman of the Davao Death Squad, revealed his hideout and true identity.
The preliminary background check on Matobato was conducted by the members of the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) headed by Police Senior Superintendent Michael John Dubria and guided by retired intelligence officer Jun Apostol went to a slum area along the border of Barangay Sasa and Panacan in the Buhangin and Bunawan districts, respectively.
Dubria said he wanted to be enlightened about the reason why Matobato implicated Davao City police officers in his group's criminal activities in the past.
"If there is one person who would answer for the killings sa Davao City, I think siya yun," the PNP official said, referring to Matobato who alleged that then Davao City Mayor Rodrigo had a hand in the summary executions.
Matobato, the self-confessed assassin was arrogant and got involved in fights frequently, according to a former neighbor. Residents were afraid of him because he usually roamed around with a gun.
Another neighbor said he doesn't believe that Matobato is a hitman as he was not able to retaliate when a certain Verbo mauled him. The neighbor added that Matobato's technique was to plant drugs as evidence against his enemies to have them arrested.
Police authorities said that after leaving the house that became Matobato's hideout from 2010 to 2013, they are planning to visit other areas where the alleged ex-DDS member lived in order to know more about his true personality and real identity.
