Police Brigadier General Elmer Ragay has been relieved as chief of the Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG) following the death of businessman Anson Que and issues related to previous cases.

Philippine National Police (PNP) spokesperson Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo confirmed that PNP Chief Rommel Marbil is dissatisfied with Ragay's performance, citing concerns not only over the recent case but also past incidents.

Police Colonel David Poklay, deputy director for operations of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), has replaced Ragay as AKG chief.

Anson Que and his driver were found dead on a roadside in Rodriguez, Rizal; their bodies were discovered by a concerned citizen around 6 a.m. on Wednesday, April 9.

The victims' bodies were placed in a nylon bag with duct tape covering their faces, and they were only wearing underwear with heads covered in blood.
