MANILA, Philippines — Philippine police tracked down a suspect in a series of grisly robberies and killings with the help of his Facebook account, officials said Tuesday. Mark Dizon, a 28-year-old computer technician, did not resist when arrested Tuesday while talking with his father in a public square in northern San Fernando city, police Senior Superintendent Danilo Bautista said. He is accused of killing nine people – six Filipinos, an American, a Canadian and a Briton – in three different robberies at hotels and homes this month in Angeles city.
Senh: Interesting how Facebook, which is probably at the height of its popularity now, is being used as a tool for law enforcement to capture criminals, while MySpace during its heyday was being used by pedophiles to commit crime.
