Source: CNN Philippines
(CNN Philippines) — The Abu Sayyaf Group has beheaded one of four hostages kidnapped on Samal Island last September.
A police report obtained by CNN Philippines said the severed head is believed to belong to Canadian hostage John Ridsdel, who was killed after no ransom was paid by the deadline set by the rebel group.
The severed head was found in Jolo, Sulu on Monday night (April 25).
The police report said two unidentified men aboard a motorcycle without a plate number threw the head somewhere along Marina Street, Barangay Walled City, Jolo at around 7:35 p.m. It was wrapped in a plastic bag.
