2015-08-13 |
[AFP] A Filipino village chief held hostage by the Abu Sayyaf has been found beheaded on a highway on the remote southern island of Jolo. Rodolfo Boligao's handcuffed remains were found on Tuesday evening, with his severed head placed next to his body, said Chief Inspector Walter Anayo, police chief of Maimbung town. A piece of paper with the victim's name written on it was placed on top of the corpse. Senior Superintendent Mario Buyuccan said, "It appears he was beheaded right there on the road. The body was intentionally left in the middle of the road so that people could find it." Abu Sayyaf militants grabbed Boligao along with two members of the coast guard from the port city of Dapitan in May and demanded ransom. The government rejected the ransom demand and the fate of the coast guard members is not known. |
