John Rey Teves, 22, and his brother Ryan, both of Tupada, Salaysalay street, fled after allegedly stabbing Julie Roque dead at around 11:30 p.m.

Police said Roque was quarreling with Imelda Pasague when Ryan, who is a son-in-law of the woman, tried to pacify them.

Ryan’s action irked Roque, who left only to return later allegedly armed with a knife.

John Rey was about to confront Roque upon learning that he was looking for his brother, when Ryan arrived and hit the victim with a piece of wood.

The Teves brothers reportedly took turns in hitting and stabbing Roque.
