Manila Police District (MPD)-Homicide Division said suspect Jesus Lomayno Jr. was arrested in a follow-up operation after he allegedly stabbed vendor Moreno Raymundo, 34 along Malate, Manila around 12 midnight.
Based on a report from homicide investigator, Senior Police Officer 1 Charles John Durano, a heated argument between the two might have prompted Lomayno to attack Raymundo.
Durano said the victim was rushed to Saint Claire Medical Center after sustaining a stab wound on his chest but was declared dead on arrival by attending physician.
Lomayno was arrested around 5 a.m. and was placed under police custody at MPD-Homicide Division.
