afternoon, he was awakened by the noise of his two cousins namely Ian
(suspect) and Ang (victim) in Sala. When he opened their window, he saw his
two cousins standing at their doorstep facing each other. The siblings were
having an intense argument. While on the said arguments, Ang made remarks to
Ian: “Ayaw paggamit ug kutsilyo!”(Loosely: Do not use weapon!). Not a long after,
Ant shoved Ian and the latter begged the former uttering the following.”Maluoy ka
kuya ayaw na gamita sa akua!”( Loosely: Please Kuya Ian, do not thrust on me!).
The begging of Angge towards his brother Ian indicates that a bladed weapon
was thrusted in the former's body.

and went to his mother to tell the incident. After some few moments, the witness
opened their window again and saw the lifeless body of Angel Pacuno lying on
the ground.

HOMICIDE can be legally considered against the suspect Ian. Without being
repetitious, lacking any qualifying circumstances the crime should be merely
homicide, not murder.
