A teenager was killed while his friend was hospitalized with serious injuries after several young men ganged up on them as the victims were walking home from a party in Quezon City on Saturday night.
Mark Kenneth Sebastian, 16, a high school student, died due to a lone stab wound in the back.
Case investigator PO2 Alvin Quisumbing said the boy’s companion, Jayson Garcia, 17, suffered a stab wound in the abdomen and remained in critical condition at East Avenue Medical Center.
The victims, both residents of Barangay (village) Pinyahan, were walking home from a birthday party at 11:30 p.m. when they encountered a group of young men who attacked them at the Bureau of Forestry compound on East Avenue.
Quisumbing said they were still investigating the motive for the attack.
Sebastian died at 6:20 p.m. on Sunday while Garcia remained unconscious at the intensive care unit of EAMC. Julie M. Aurelio
