The Department of Justice (DOJ) anticipates completing its investigation into the motive and mastermind behind the killing of businessman Anson Que by May.
DOJ Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla stated that the direct participants in the crime have been identified, and the focus is now on uncovering the mastermind and motive.
Remulla hinted that the upcoming revelations might be surprising and asked for an additional 20 to 25 days to finalize the probe.
A panel of DOJ prosecutors recently conducted a preliminary investigation into the kidnap-for-ransom with homicide charges filed concerning Que's death.
Three suspects, Richard Austria, Reymart Catequista (both Filipinos), and David Tan Liao (a Chinese national), appeared during the hearing.
Six other individuals, including Roxian Guo and several Chinese nationals identified as Haohua Yang, Fangquiang Yuan, Jin Yuan Ye, Jonin Lin, and a person named Kelly, are still at large and were named as respondents in the case.
