Anson Que case: Lawyer questions detention of 2 Chinese respondents
A lawyer is questioning the detention of two Chinese nationals, Hauhua Yang and Fangquiang Yuan, who are suspects in the killing of businessman Anson Que.
Their lawyer, Atty. Freidrick Lu, stated that Yang and Yuan were initially reported missing by their families in early April before they learned of their arrest.
Lu argues his clients could not have been involved in Que's killing, as they claim they were assisting people at a casino resort during the time of the incident.
The two Chinese nationals are allegedly involved in receiving ransom money to turn over to the kidnappers.
Authorities stated that Yang and Yuan are in the custody of the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group due to immigration violations.
Lu and his clients attended the preliminary investigation proceedings at the DOJ, where they intend to file a counter-affidavit on May 8 and a writ of habeas corpus.
The lawyer is petitioning the Department of Justice - National Prosecution Service to clear his clients of involvement in the killing.
