1
dead, 5 hurt in
random
violence
A
farmer in San Andres was stabbed to death by
another man last week, which saw five other
persons injured in four other unrelated violent
incidents involving the use of bladed weapons.
In
San Andres town, Michael Torres y Lucero, 18,
single and a residence of barangay San Isidro,
was on his way home at 4 A.M. of Feb. 8 after a
drinking spree with his companions at the house
of one Silverio Villegas when he was stabbed
once in the left chest by Dennis Tanana y
Villegas, 25, single and also a farmer. The
suspect fled immediately after the attack and
remains at large while Torres' body was taken to
the Rural Health Unit where he was autopsied by
Dr. Eduardo Kho.
The
spate of stabbings started last Feb. 3 in San
Andres, Pandan during a benefit dance at the
barangay plaza when suspect Ronnie Antonio y
Domingo, 23, single and a student, created
trouble while under the influence of liquor.
When the audience started panicking, Manny Alfon
y Rima, 24, and barangay tanod Romeo Barro y de
Quiroz, 45, single, tried to pacify Antonio but
the suspect got irked, drew a knife and attacked
the duo. Antonio fled while the injured men were
taken to the Pandan district hospital for
treatment.
Four
hours later in the early morning of Feb. 4, a
certain Barceta alias "Palong" and an
unidentified companion from barangay Botinagan
was roaming around the Soboc barangay plaza in
Viga when a barangay tanod accidentally brushed
by Barceta's head. The suspect's friend punched
tanod Romeo Timwat, who retaliated by punching
the man five times. Unknown to the tanod,
Barceta drew a "balisong" and stabbed
Timwat at the left portion of his back.
At
almost the same time in Palnab del Sur, Virac,
Reynaldo Magtangob y Romero, 31, married and a
fisherman, was singing his heart out during a
drinking session with Noli Tablate y Ubalde, 27,
married and also a fisherman, at the house of
Ranulfo Lumbao when the former advised the
already tipsy Tablate to go home. Tablate
complied but came back later armed with a knife,
which he stuck in Magtangob's right arm.
The following day at 5:40 A.M., Johnny de Leon y Sambajon, 32, married
and a security guard from Palnab del Sur was
stabbed on his left chest with a kitchen knife
by Carlos Llasos y Arcilla, 16, of Gogon Centro.
SPO1 Benjamin Valeza said that de Leon was
playing "pie que" at a wake in Gogon
when a heated argument erupted between him and
the suspect, who left and came back wielding the
knife. The victim survived the attack and was
taken to the Eastern Bicol Medical Center.
