Makeup artist in QC jail for killing stepdad over BF

A man ended up behind bars for killing his stepfather in Quezon City after an argument about the former’s relationship with another man.

Daryl Diamante, a 27-year-old makeup artist, was arrested on Saturday, three days after stabbing his stepfather Alden Resoco, a 54-year-old tricycle driver, at their house on Laura Street, Barangay Old Balara.

The police said Diamante and Resoco had an argument about Diamante’s relationship with Mark Joseph Aga, who is also being considered a suspect for allegedly hitting Resoco as well.

The heated exchange Wednesday night ended with Diamante stabbing Resoco several times with a broken bottle and Aga hitting Resoco with a monobloc chair.

Diamante’s mother and Resoco’s live-in partner, Renilda, rushed the victim to East Avenue Medical Center, where  he died from his stab wounds at 10:40 p.m., according to a report reaching the Quezon City Police District.

Diamante was turned over to the QCPD’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit in Camp Karingal by members of the Batasan station.

Aga remained at large as of Saturday.
