Manila: Philippine police yesterday said they used facebook to track down a Filipino computer technician blamed for the gruesome murders of nine people, three of them foreigners.
The suspect, Mark Dizon 28, was captured by police on Tuesday in San Fernando City north of Manila after his father, fearful that his son would be killed in a gunbattle, arranged to meet him. Dizon was initially identified by witnesses through his facebook account, where police found out that a daughter of one of the victims was an ex-girlfriend........
He said Dizon apparently closed his facebook account recently after sensing police were on his heels, but two witnesses had already positively identified him using his profile picture. Dizon is suspected of killing American Albert Mitchell-70, Briton James Porter-51, and Canadian Geoffrey Bennun-60, their three Filipina partners and three Filipino domestic helpers in separate attacks in Angeles this month.......Muder charges will be filed against Dizon later..
