00:00After more than two years of hiding, a man was arrested in Baco, Orcavite for the murder of a man in Tondo, Manila.
00:09Despite being accused, he only defended himself.
00:13We have the first news, Bea Pinlac.
00:15Almost no clothes were worn by this 26-year-old man when he was arrested by the police in their house in Baco, Orcavite under the warrant of arrest.
00:30You have the right to remain silent and to remain silent.
00:33After being dressed, he was sent to prison.
00:38The man was accused of killing a man in their house in Tondo, Manila in April 2022.
00:46The victim was wearing a tunic that became the cause of his death.
00:54After the crime, he hid.
00:59According to the CCTV footage, another man was with the accused.
01:04But according to the police...
01:06According to what we saw in the video, there were two men, but we don't know why there was only one man with the warrant of arrest.
01:13The accused, Alias Balat, who is a criminology graduate,
01:16insisted that he was the one behind the crime and that he defended himself.
01:21He said that he was letting the victim leave their house because he was involved in illegal drugs.
01:27I didn't do it. I think they were angry because they were letting him leave.
01:30He was wearing a tunic at that time.
01:34Maybe we were provoked, but we didn't want to.
01:38It was self-defense.
01:40We just didn't want to let him leave because he was involved.
01:44The accused is facing a non-bailable murder case.
01:48This is the first news.
