The Anti-Kidnapping Group of the Philippine National Police (PNP-AKG) has stepped into the investigation of the reported kidnap-slay of two foreigners whose bodies were found in a remote area in Camarines Sur.
PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said that, based on initial investigation, the Chinese and Chinese-American businessmen arrived in the country on June 20 to meet with potential Chinese business partners.
Later, the relatives of one of the two foreigners informed them about the kidnapping, and that the alleged kidnappers were demanding five million yuan as ransom. The ransom demand was later reduced to three million yuan, and was sent to the kidnappers.
After the ransom was paid, the kidnappers could no longer be contacted which prompted the relatives of the victims to seek police assistance.
On June 24, Fajardo said two bodies were reported to have been found in Sitio Rawis, Barangay Patitinan, in Sagñay, Camarines Sur, which were later confirmed to be the two missing businessmen.
Fajardo said they have not yet established the motive behind the incident, but assured that the AKG is continuously investigating the incident to identify the perpetrators.
‘The AKG already took cognizance of the case after the coordination with the Chinese Embassy and right now, the AKG has persons of interest,” said Fajardo.
