From ABS-CBN (Jun 6): Kidnapped ship captain released in Sulu after paying ransom
A captain of a fishing vessel who was kidnapped by armed men on May 21 has been released.
Lucio Gonzales was released in Sulu on Tuesday, his son said.
The Gonzales family said they paid a ransom for the captain’s release, but they declined to say the exact amount.
The kidnappers initially demanded a P15 million ransom from GMA Fishing Company, where Gonzales is employed, but the family said they were able to convince the kidnappers to lower the ransom.
Gonzales was treated well by his captors and was even given medicine for his diabetes, his family said.
They suspect that the incident was a case of mistaken identity.
Authorities have yet to identify the suspects behind the kidnapping.
