MANILA, Philippines - Police yesterday filed charges of multiple attempted and frustrated murder and gun ban violation against six suspects in the failed ambush of an Abra mayoral bet last April 11.

Charged were brothers Pepe, Francisco and Paul Bodonia; Bobot Gonzales, Harold Quemerista, and Jojo Jacinto.

Chief Superintendent Villamor Bumanlag, Cordillera police director, said they have witnesses who pointed to the six suspects as behind the failed ambush of Ryan Luna, who is running for mayor of Bangued.

Bumanlag said they are investigating reports that the suspects, all still at large, were bodyguards of a former mayor and that they were hired by an incumbent mayor.
