Lee, Cornejo, and Raz are now in custody of the authorities, while Guerrero has yet to surrender.
"Isa na lang ang hinahanap, si Ferdinand Guerrero, Nag-dispatch na ng tracker team para mag-serve ng warrant of arrest sa kanyang last known address sa Makati. Hindi siya natagpuan dun kaya patuloy ang paghahanap sa kanya," Taguig police chief Col. Christopher Olazo said.

It will be recalled that Navarro accused Lee of detaining him on the night of January 22, 2014 in a condominium unit in Taguig City, where Lee, with other companions, mauled him and allegedly threatened to kill him.

Charged with Lee is Cornejo, who had claimed Navarro attempted to rape her that night. It is this rape allegation that Lee used as a justification to maul Navarro and to force him to admit to raping Cornejo at a police station that same night.

But CCTV footage later showed Cornejo stepping onto the elevator from her condo unit about a minute after Navarro stepped out of the elevator to go to her unit.
