PNP arrests kidnapping suspects in Boracay
Two suspects in the kidnapping and murder of Filipino-Chinese steel magnate Anson Que and his driver were arrested at a high-end resort in Boracay on Saturday.
Wenli Gong, who has a P10-million government bounty on her head and is considered one of the masterminds behind Que's killing, was among those apprehended with another suspect named Wu Ja Ping.
Gong served as the main ransom negotiator during Que's kidnapping and controlled e-wallets used to launder the ransom money paid by his family.
Joint teams from the police and military were involved in the operation, and Philippine National Police chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil is scheduled to hold a press briefing to announce the arrests.
Police recovered a full-head mask believed to have been used by Gong to conceal her identity during the kidnapping and murder case.
The PNP's Joint Anti-Kidnapping Committee (JAKAC) confirmed that the operation was based on intelligence-gathering, and they are now seeking assistance from foreign counterparts including the Chinese Embassy to help uncover more details.
