According to brig. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of Joint Task Group Sulu, Muktadil was killed in Barangay Silangkan in Parang, Sulu at Saturday midnight while a number of Marines were making rounds in the area. The Abu Sayyaf leader’s cadaver was transferred to CGTB Station Hospital in Barangay Busbus in Jolo, Sulu.
