Banana vendor killed over business rivalry

Police are looking for a banana vendor accused of stabbing a colleague to death the other night in Manggahan, Pasig City.

The victim, 21-year-old Arenio Ora, died of two stab wounds, one in the neck and chest.

Ora was walking home at around 8:20 p.m. when his alleged attacker, Jessie Risedella, ambushed him with a knife. He was taken to nearby Mission Hospital but died before he got there.

A witness, vendor Freddie Malboa, told police that the two had long been enemies over business and engaged in a fistfight last week. — Sandy Araneta
