“Through meticulous investigation and collaboration, we discovered that this crime has been planned months in advance, starting as early as January this year,” Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil said in  statement read by PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo.chinese national and two Filipinos implicated in the kidnapping and killing of Filipino-Chinese steel magnate Anson Que and his driver Armanie Pabillo are now under police custody.

Marbil named  suspects as Chinese David Tan Liao and two Filipino accomplices, Ricardo David and Raymart Catequista.

Liao, also known as Xiao Chang Jiang, Yang Jianmin and Michael Agad Yung, is reportedly  prominent figure within muscle group of Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs).

He surrendered  to  PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group and confessed to his participation in the crime.

He was involved in five other kidnapping cases,  earliest of which happened in 2022, all related to  POGO industry.

David and Catequista, meanwhile, were arrested in Barangay IV in Roxas, Palawan on Friday at around 3 in the morning.

Suspects  underwent inquest proceedings before  Department of Justice, where they were charged with criminal complaints for two counts of kidnapping for ransom with homicide.

Two other Chinese nationals believed to be principal suspects in the Que and Pabillo killing remain at large and  subjects of  manhunt operation.

Marbil said  suspects had been plotting the kidnap of the businessman for months before it was finally carried out on March 29.

Speaking to reporters at a news briefing, Fajardo said  suspects used  Chinese woman to lure Que to  house in Barangay Langka in Meycauayan City, Bulacan on March 29.

“Ang tinitingnan natin ay makikipagkita siya doon sa babae,” Fajardo said.

Fajardo said  meeting was initially planned on March 28 but took place the following day.

One of the suspects, David, drove Que’s Lexus LM350 multi-purpose vehicle and left it along Seminary Road in Barangay Bahay Toro. He was caught in  closed-circuit television camera of  convenience store buying wet wipes,  he would supposedly use to remove their fingerprints.

It was in the house in Meycauayan where Que and Pabillo were held while  suspects were demanding  ransom of $20 million from Que’s family.

Fajardo said while  initial demand was $20 million, they estimate  actual payment was around P200 million in cryptocurrency sent in multiple tranches.

PNP is seeking  assistance of  Anti-Money Laundering Council in following  money trail for leads.

Based on their investigation, Fajardo said Que and Pabillo were killed on the evening of April 8 and their remains dumped in Rodriguez, Rizal the following day.

Armed with  search warrant, police officers raided  house in Meycauayan where they recovered shoes and other personal belongings of Que and Pabillo.

Fajardo said it appears that  suspects were intent on killing Que and Pabillo and it was not just for ransom. She did not elaborate as it is a subject of  follow-up investigation.

Asked what may have prompted Liao to surrender, Fajardo said: “He fears for his life and he has  personal reason which we will later reveal once we have  clearance.”

PNP, meanwhile, refuted what it described as false information circulating on social media platforms that several high-profile business personalities had been kidnapped.

Marbil said investigators are tracking down  individuals spreading misleading stories.

“Such malicious disinformation will not be tolerated…anyone proven to be spreading fake news will be dealt with accordingly,” he said in  statement.

Marbil urged  public to be cautious in sharing unverified information as this could cause confusion.
