Half-brother of Sen. Bong Revilla shot and stabbed dead

A half-brother of Sen. Ramon “Bong" Revilla Jr. was shot and stabbed dead in his Parañaque City house shortly before midnight Friday. Ram Revilla succumbed to his injuries after at least one gunman entered his house in BF Homes in Parañaque at about 11 p.m. Friday, radio dzBB reported early Saturday. The report said the assailant also stabbed Ram’s girlfriend. A separate report on PEP.ph said Ram and his girlfriend, identified as Jonelle Manahan, were brought to the Parañaque Medical Center. On the other hand, the dzBB report quoted Sen. Revilla as saying he doubts robbery was the motive in the killing of his half-brother. He cited reports reaching him showing nothing appeared to be taken from the victim’s house. The PEP.ph report said the victim made his film debut in “Anak Ka ng Tatay Mo" in 2004. His other movies included “Exodus" (2005) and “Resiklo" (2007). — ELR, GMA News
