He voluntarily surrendered on Saturday, while his two other accomplices, identified as Richardo Austria David and Raymart Catequista, were arrested in Roxas, Palawan, on Friday. They are currently in the custody of the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group.
The PNP said two more Chinese nationals suspected of involvement in the crime are still being pursued.
Que and Pabillo were last seen on March 29 in Valenzuela City. A ransom demand of $20 million was sent to Que’s family the following day. Despite the ransom being paid, the two victims were killed, and their bodies were discovered in Rodriguez, Rizal, on April 9.
