Gay impersonator stabbed dead

-

A 20-year-old gay impersonator was found dead from several stab wounds early yesterday morning in Malate, Manila.

Police said the body of Carl Ligaya, a member of the Love Dolls gay impersonators’ group, was discovered by colleague Gian Carlo Manalo on an improvised wooden swing at a basketball court on Arellano street in San Andres Bukid.

The victim’s colleagues rushed him to the Philippine General Hospital but he was declared dead on arrival.

SPO2 David Tuazon said the Love Dolls had a belated Christmas party at the house of their dancer and choreographer Amy Verzosa on Arellano street. At the height of the party, an impersonator identified as Rolly Galang had a fight with his boyfriend after he caught the latter with Ligaya and another gay man in the bathroom. Cooler heads pacified Galang and his boyfriend.

Police are investigating if the quarrel had something to do with Ligaya’s killing. – Nestor Etolle
