Road rage killer Rolito Go now in police custody

Convicted killer Rolito Go, who was discovered missing from the New Bilibid Prison early Wednesday morning, August 15, is now in police custody, according to prison director Gaudencio Pangilinan Jr. He confirmed a report on ABS-CBN’s Wednesday evening that Go was with the Philippine National Police. A Bandila report, citing information from PNP chief Director General Nicanor Bartolome, said that Go was found with nephew Clemence Yu — who acts as his nurse. They were supposedly released by their “kidnappers” in Tanauan, Batangas. Go, convicted for the killing of a 25-year-old engineering student over a traffic altercation in 1991, was reported missing from the New Bilibid Prison on Wednesday, August 15. Kidnappers reportedly asked for a P1 million ranson. Go has colon cancer and needs medical attention. He was convicted in 1993 and sentenced to life imprisonment for shooting De La Salle student Eldon Maguan in the head while he was seated in his car. The two got entangled in an altercation after Go violated a one-way traffic rule on Wilson Street in San Juan. Go sought executive pardon under the Arroyo administration but the Maguan family opposed it.
