Petinglay denounced the killing, mentioning that the soldiers were unarmed and were wearing athletic uniforms when they were slain. She also said the killers fled with the victims' motorcycle. Petinglay said, "It is very lamentable that the two unarmed soldiers working for peace were killed in a treacherous way by the BIFF.
