At this point, let us just base our hypotheses on physical evidence at hand: 1) There are police and military people in the company of known operators of the numbers game in an ungodly hour and in a no man's land; and 2) There are unlicensed high powered firearms carried by the victims. Is it the job of a top police or military man to be escorts of a numbers game operator? What on earth are those military men doing at that hour when they are supposed to be family men, that day being a Sunday? If those military men are on a military mission, did the SOCO people find a Mission Order in the physical possession of the victims? Is there a log of any communications coordination with their superiors prior to the actual time of the incident? Was there a written instruction in the physical possession of the victims tending to indicate their mission instructions, objectives, mission parameters and team composition? If they are on a mission, there must be communication equipment, aside from their cellphones, in their physical possession. Barring none, those police and military people are on a private enterprise.
Even on citizen's arrest, any private citizen can proceed to arrest someone about to commit a crime. Anyone in the possession of an unlicensed high powered firearm can be deemed on the spot as someone about to commit a crime. Even if Mr. Hansel may not be in uniform, he can claim that he is a citizen about to arrest someone who is about to commit a crime. At this point, statements about jueteng or turf are pure conjectures and speculations and will never hold water in a court of law.
