The Main Suspect In Fatal Hazing Of UST Student Voluntarily Surrenders Himself To Authorities

One of the main suspects on the fatal hazing of Horacio Castillo III, a student at University of Santo Tomas has voluntarily surrendered.

John Paul Solano is one of the primary suspects in the death of a UST law student and a part-time medical technologist Horacio Castillo III. He was the one who found the wounded body of the hazing victim.

Solano has been dubbed as a “Good Samaritan” after rushing the latter’s wounded body to the Chinese General Hospital but eventually tagged as one of the main suspects due to inconsistencies in his statement.
