At City Hall, the suspects denied having perpetrated the killing of lawyer Agias.
"Gidakup lang mi didtu nga wala...tingala mga tawo didtu (we were just arrested without...the people there wondered)," Omadan told reporters.
"Tiene iyo trabaho, pakimodo man iyo tira (I have work, how can I shot)," Seriales reacted when told by a reporter that he was the triggerman.
But a witness said Seriales is the man depicted in the artist's cartographic sketch.
It was not immediately known when the suspects would be put on trial and if they had lawyers.
