Two suspects in Chinese student kidnapping surrender to PNP

Two Filipino suspects, Marven Cataytay, 27, and Panfilo Hibaya, 62, surrendered to the Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group (PNP-AKG) on September 3 for their alleged involvement in the February kidnapping of a 14-year-old Chinese student.

Warrants of arrest for kidnapping for ransom with homicide were served to the suspects, both residents of Pasay, by the PNP-AKG.

PNP-AKG director Brig. Gen. Glicerio Cansilao stated that the suspects surrendered due to an intensified manhunt after they were identified.

The victim was reported missing by his parents on February 20 after not returning from a school activity and was found safe on February 25.

Authorities are still conducting manhunt operations for at least five other suspects, including Chinese nationals, who remain at large.
