Deniece Cornejo, Cedric Lee get life term

A Taguig court yesterday found model Deniece Cornejo, businessman Cedric Lee and two others guilty of serious illegal detention for ransom of actorhost Vhong Navarro.

In a 94-page ruling, Taguig Regional Trial Court Branch 153 Judge Mariam Biem sentenced Cornejo, Lee, Ferdinand Guerrero and Simeon Palma Raz to life in prison after convicting them for the assault and extortion of Navarro in 2014.

The convicts were also ordered to jointly pay Navarro P100,000 in civil indemnity, P100,000 as moral damages and P100,000 as exemplary damages.

The bail bonds posted by the accused were canceled.

In January 2014, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed criminal charges against Cornejo and others in connection with the detention and attack on Navarro.

In her ruling, Biem said that the accused's plan to restrain Navarro and extort money from him was "all too apparent." She noted that it was "very unusual" for all the accused to gather in one place a few hours before the detention and assault of Navarro took place.
