A 31-year-old delivery rider was arrested on March 15, 2025, at Wawa Street, Alabang, Muntinlupa City for a case of homicide.
According to PLt. Michael Guanzon, officer-in-charge of the Warrant and Subpoena Section of the Parañaque City Police, the crime occurred on November 2024 at a basketball court in Barangay Marcelo Green, Parañaque City.
Guanzon said the accused was with two other people when the incident occurred. The delivery rider was reportedly just out of town and was invited by another accused.
There was allegedly an argumentwhile the accused and the victim were drinking separately.
Using a four finger brass knuckle, the accused punched the victim.
"There were three of them, they helped the victim," said Guanzon.
But according to Guanzon, the alcohol bottle hit the head was the cause of the victim's death.
The victim's mother herself filed a complaint against the suspects.
The delivery rider admitted to the assault but defended himself, saying he only retaliated because the victim had also hurt him.
The accused is currently detained at the Parañaque City Police's custodial facility unit, while the police are also searching for the two other suspects.
Police remind people to avoid conflict or confrontation to avoid trouble.
"Let's also avoid any illegal activities and cooperate with authorities to prevent incidents like this," Guanzon added.
