Town police chief Supt. Ruel Vacaro said Danilo Picones Feliciano, 32, of Barangay San Roque, Antipolo City, died instantly from multiple stab wounds.

Vacaro said suspects Wilson dela Cruz, 19, Reynaldo Soriano, 18, and Jeffrey Soriano 19, all of Nazarine VIII Upper Don Enrique  Homes, Barangay San Roque, Antipolo City, were arrested in a follow up operation while the group’s alleged leader Elizerio Valle alias  “Jun-jun” escaped. 

The suspects were positively identified by Feliciano’s girlfriend, Claudine, 22, from the rogues’ gallery at the police headquarters.

Case officers SPO2 Edgar Petalvero and PO3 Darwin  Dionisio said the couple was on board a Yamaha motorcycle going to the Hillsdale Summit Subd. in Barangay San Isidro when the suspects blocked them.

Claudine told investigators that the suspects dragged them towards a dark area of the hill and told them to undress. One of the suspects pulled her away from Feliciano and laid her down on a grassy area. 

As the suspect was molesting her, Claudine heard Feliciano shouting and begging for help. The other suspects then took turns raping her. The sexual abuse was stopped only when the suspects heard a motorcycle approaching and she took the opportunity to escape. 

The man on motorcycle, a policeman, immediately took off his jacket and covered Claudine who was already naked. 

Charges of robbery with homicide and rape will be filed against the suspects.
