Suspect in kidnap of 14-year-old Chinese student has active cases for murder, carnapping — police
Suspect Wang Dan Yu, also known as Bao Long, is allegedly behind the kidnapping of a 14-year-old Chinese student and is a Chinese fugitive wanted for murder, carnapping, and kidnapping for ransom.
He was charged for murder in October 2024 after shooting a fellow Chinese national at a Makati City restaurant and has been on the Bureau of Immigration's watchlist with a hold departure order.
Authorities are awaiting the resolution of his murder case, a pending carnapping case with the Pasay Police, and other cases in China.
The PNP links Bao Long and his group to previous kidnapping incidents and believes both the victim and suspects were POGO workers.
The 14-year-old student went missing on February 20 and was discovered on a roadside in Parañaque City on Tuesday evening.
