The police yesterday still could not establish the identities of the suspects who gunned down an Indian national and a Philippine Army reservist in Bacolod City, since members of the local Indian community are “uncooperative.”

Supt. Jefferson Descallar, deputy police city director for operations, said that they already have leads, but are still facing difficulty in the investigation.

They are also waiting for the result of the ballistic examinations on the .45 caliber pistol and six bullets recovered from the body of Alden Teves, the driver and body guard of the Indian national, Descallar said.
