Abu Sayyaf behead Malaysian hostage
[PhilStar] A Malaysian hostage who was kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf from a resort in Malaysia's Sabah state in May was beheaded in Indanan, Sulu after his family failed to pay the ransom. The victim was kidnapped along with restaurant manager Thien Nyuk Fun in Sandakan, Sabah last May. Fun was released earlier this month. Joint Task Group Sulu chief Alan Arrojado said Bernard Ghen Ted Fen, the remaining Malaysian hostage from the abduction, was beheaded yesterday afternoon. The Abu Sayyaf faction involved were reportedly led by Alden Bagade and Idang Susukan. Citing intelligence reports, Arrojado said the victim's body was buried near where he was beheaded. Fen was killed as Philippine troops conducted an air raid on the group's lair. Arrojado said, "It appears that the beheading pushed through almost simultaneously with the bombardment and rocket fire." Posted by: ryuge 2015-11-18 |
