The suspects’ arrest came after Renhu’s girlfriend Raquel Medavillo and another Chinese, Mingcheng Cui, sought police assistance.

Medavillo told police that three suspects detained Renhu after he failed to pay his P200,000 debt.

The suspects are being held by police on charges of illegal detention.

Police have launched a manhunt for the third suspect, who remains at large.
