Lawyer seeks dismissal of charges for 2 Chinese nationals in businessman's killing

The lawyer representing two Chinese nationals, Hauhua Yang and Fangquiang Yuan, intends to request the Department of Justice (DOJ) to clear his clients of involvement in the killing of businessman Anson Que.

Yang and Yuan were identified by the Philippine National Police (PNP) as suspects for preliminary investigation in connection with Que's death.

Their lawyer, Freidrick Lu, asserts that his clients could not have been involved because they were at a casino resort during the time of the incident.

Lu and his clients participated in the initial preliminary investigation at the DOJ, alongside three other respondents.

Yang and Yuan are in the custody of the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group due to alleged Immigration violations, not directly related to the killing.

According to Lu, his clients claim they were merely assisting people at the casino resort with currency exchange, obtaining rooms, or purchasing items like cigarettes.

The lawyer also mentioned plans to file a writ of habeas corpus, questioning their detention.
