The leader of the Pentagon kidnap for ransom group and two other detainees bolted yesterday from their cells in Camp Crame, the Philippine National Police (PNP) headquarters. National Anti-Kidnapping Task Force (NAKTAF) chief Hermogenes Ebdane identified the escapees as Faisal Marohombsar, Abdul Macaumpang, and Rolando Patiño. Marohombsar is a chief suspect in the kidnapping of Italian priest, Fr. Guisseppi Pierantoni. He was arrested in Quiapo, Manila last February. Patiño was arrested last month as a suspect in murder last New Yearâs Eve of Young Officersâ Union (YOU) self-proclaimed spokesman Baron Cervantes. Ebdane said guards discovered the escape during the morning roll call of detainees. The NAKTAF chief said the three men destroyed the padlock of their cell and scaled the wall of the âhighly securedâ compound. |
