Shi Chunfang, who had been involved in kidnapping in the Philippines for 6 years, was finally returned to China on the 22nd of this month.
He is from Pingtan, Fujian, and smuggled into Manila in 2017, forming a 'kidnapping gang' with 3 fellow townsmen—specifically targeting Chinese businessmen engaged in the clothing trade in the Philippines, using WeChat's 'people nearby' feature to fish for targets. In 2021, he kidnapped Boss Wang from Zhejiang, and after receiving a ransom of 2000000, he strangled the victim and buried him in a sugarcane field on the outskirts.
