Laborer stabs co-worker

A construction worker allegedly stabbed his co-worker to death in a church in Sampaloc, Manila yesterday.

Police identified the victim as Mario Gorpedo, 27, stay-in at Flashbuilt Construction Inc. and of Northern Samar.

Case officer PO3 Marlon San Pedro disclosed that the incident happened at around 4:30 a.m. at the construction site of Grace Gospel Church on Mangga Ave. corner Buenos Aires St. Initial investigation said that the suspect, Jonard Caberte, 35, of Negros Occidental, stabbed the victim while he was sleeping. A witness, co-worker Anito Galias, saw the suspect fleeing.

Galias saw Gorpedo gasping for breath on his wooden bed. The victim was taken to the Ospital ng Sampaloc where he died.

Police are eyeing revenge as the motive of the killing.

(The reason for the killing) may be out of revenge, because last Friday, the victim, along with his unknown companion, ganged up the suspects brother (who is also their co-worker), San Pedro said. (Rachel Joyce E. Burce)
