Anyone who furnishes the place for the commission of the crime; the
same penalty.
The person killed, raped, or physically injured should be the victim him
or herself.
Where taking of the victim is incidental to the basic purpose to kill, the
crime is only murder.
Where the detention of the victim is not shown to be for the purpose of
liquidating him, the crime is kidnapping.
On Ransom
o It is a qualifying circumstance. Always Kidnapping/Serious Illegal
Detention
o The fact alone that ransom is demanded does not per se qualify
the act of preventing the liberty of movement of the victim of
into kidnapping.
There should be actual restraint or deprivation of liberty,
and that such restraint was the basic intent of the accused.
o IF ransom is late, where it is demanded, but at that time, the
victim was already rescued, then there is no ransom. Only
Kidnapping, and said ransom will not be taken into account.
