MANILA, Philippines — A bakery employee allegedly stabbed to death his co-worker, whose body was found on Saturday midnight some eight hours after the killing in Quezon City.

The long interval between the crime and the discovery of the body of Danilo Del Valle, 31, a stay-in employee at a bakery in Commonwealth Village in Diliman, enabled suspect Jun Vista to pack up and flee.

PO2 Dennis Llapitan, of the Quezon City Police District Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (QCPD-CIDU) said that the stabbing incident could have happened at around 4:30 pm, Saturday, while Del Valle and Vista were engaged in a drinking binge inside the bakery.
