Two suspects in Chinese student kidnapping surrender to PNP-AKG

Two suspects in the kidnapping of a 14-year-old Chinese student from an international school in Taguig City have surrendered to the Philippine National Police-Anti-Kidnapping Group (PNP-AKG).

Warrants of arrest were served against the suspects, identified as "Tatang" (62) and "Marv" (27), following their surrender on September 3.

They are facing charges for kidnapping for ransom with homicide under Article 267 in relation to Article 249 of the Revised Penal Code, with no bail recommended.

According to the PNP-AKG, the suspects surrendered due to the pressure of being identified and located by authorities.

The police are still conducting manhunt operations against at least five other individuals, including Chinese nationals, believed to be involved in the crime.

The kidnapping occurred on February 20, 2025, and the kidnappers demanded $20 million in ransom through Telegram.
