DOJ to resolve businessman's kidnap-slay case, Alvin Que's inclusion

Government prosecutors have concluded their preliminary investigation into the kidnap-slay of businessman Anson Que and his driver Armanie Pabillo.

Alvin Que, the son of the victim, remains a respondent in the case despite a motion by the Philippine National Police (PNP) to withdraw his name due to insufficient evidence.

The DOJ panel of prosecutors will resolve Alvin's inclusion simultaneously with the main resolution, not separately.

The PNP sought Alvin's withdrawal after one of the principal suspects, David Tan Liao, claimed Alvin ordered the kidnapping and murder.

Que and his driver Armanie Pabillo were reported missing on March 29 and their bodies were found in Rizal on April 10.

Que was killed even though his family paid P200 million in ransom, which was sent to casino junket operators and converted into cryptocurrency.
