Other suspect in Vhong’s mauling incident arrested

Ferdinand Guerrero and others like that of Deniece Cornejo and Cedric Lee were charged over the mauling of the comedian-TV host Vhong Navarro.

Ferdinand Guerrero was arrested by agents of the National Bureau of Investigation [NBI] inside the penthouse of Ritz condominium in Makati City around 10:30 pm last January 25, 2015 after a long time of hiding.

The arrest comes 9 months after Ferdinand Guerrero, Cedric Lee, Cedric’s sister Bernice, model Deniece Cornejo, Zimmer Raz, JP Calma, and Jed Fernandez were charged with grave coercion over the attack on Vhong.

For two months, NBI agents followed Ferdinand’s movements until he was arrested.

“He tried to disguise himself by growing facial hair. Before the warrant of arrest was issued against him, he was sporting a clean look” NBI Anti-Illegal Drugs Unit chief Eric Isidro said.

“[Guerrero] was rich; he could stay in different condominium units in Metro Manila. He doesn’t drive the same car and keeps on changing it” Isidro added.

Meanwhile in an interview with ABS-CBN, Ferdinand insisted that the actor-host raped Deniece Cornejo and said that he does not regret any association with co-accused Cedric Lee.

He told reporters at the NBI headquarters that he was indeed one of those seen in the CCTV footage taken on the night Vhong was attacked by Cedric’s group but said that he had no part in hurting Vhong.
