Authorities arrested three alleged suspects in the kidnapping and killing of former Abuyog, Leyte vice mayor James Bohol and his son, Carlo James Bohol, the Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group (PNP-AKG) said Wednesday.

According to Sam Nielsen's report on Super Radyo dzBB, PNP-AKG chief Police Brigadier General Edwin Balles said the three suspects were arrested around 9 a.m. on Tuesday following negotiations and coordination with their families.

The abduction and killings reportedly stemmed from a dispute involving one of the suspects and the former vice mayor in connection to an unpaid debt.

The live-in partner of one of the victims earlier sought police assistance on the same night of the kidnapping.

At around 9:57 a.m. on June 30, the bodies of the victims were found in a ravine in Barangay Imelda, Silago, Southern Leyte.

In a separate dzBB interview, Balles said the suspects will be turned over to the Mayorga Municipal Police Station and the Leyte Police Provincial Office. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA News
