Tondo wake violence claims 2 mourners

- Nestor Etolle -

MANILA, Philippines - A mourner was killed yesterday morning at a wake of a neighbor at the Parola Compound in Tondo, Manila, the second man to be killed at the same wake.

Sitchan Auman, 36, was stabbed dead allegedly by Raul Domingo, 19, over a card game during the wake.

Police Officer 3 Alonzo Layugan said Auman was drinking coffee when Domingo, who lost during the previous night’s card game, stabbed him repeatedly. Auman fled after the killing.

Layugan said a man was also stabbed dead at the wake last Tuesday. Residents are calling on local officials to have the unnamed deceased buried already.

They believe that more deaths will occur unless the wake, which has been held for the past three weeks, is finally terminated.
