A man died after he was repeatedly stabbed on Wednesday night outside a barangay hall in Santa Ana, Manila.
According to a report on Unang Balita on Thursday by Mav Gonzales, the victim was identified as Teofilo Soriano.
The suspect was identified as Elmer Salinas.
CCTV footage showed that a group was playing cara y cruz at a wake on Arellano Street. Both the suspect and the victim were around watching when the suspect left immediately.
When the suspect returned, a commotion broke at the wake.
A witness said at first it looked like a fistfight, but then the suspect was seen wielding two long knives.
The suspect kept on stabbing the victim until the latter fell.
Bystanders feared meddling due to the weapons in the suspect's hands.
A barangay kagawad arrived, approached the suspect, and led him away from the victim.
The kagawad brought the victim to a tricycle that he may be brought to a hospital, but he eventually died.
Barangay officials said the suspect has previously been jailed for murder and was freed after serving his sentence.
According to the wife of the victim, the suspect and her husband may have ticked off each other.
Authorities have launched a manhunt for the suspect. (GMA News Online)
