MANILA, Philippines – Another victim of the bombing in Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat, died shortly after midnight Tuesday while receiving treatment in a hospital, a police official said later this morning.

Board member Russman Sinsuat was in one of the vehicles in Maguindanao Governor Esmael “Totoy” Mangudadatu’s convoy that was hit by an improvised explosive device Monday afternoon as it passed along the Alunan Highway, said Director Felicisimo Khu of the Integrated Police Operations in Western Mindanao.

Sinsuat owned the black Fortuner (LGU-933) that was damaged in the 3:20 p.m. blast which came from a white Kia Pride (MDJ-274), said Khu.
