A 56-year-old man from Northern Samar, identified as alias "Raul," was stabbed several times by his younger brother.

Based on a report from TV5's 'Frontline Express,' the two brothers were having a drinking session before the incident happened.

The 52-year-old suspect, identified as alias "Ben," even helped his older brother go to sleep before carrying out the attack.

While the victim was sleeping, the suspect stabbed him multiple times in the back, which resulted in his death.

The authorities are still clueless about the suspect's reason for committing the crime, because the brothers didn't argue about anything.

The suspect is now in the custody of the police, and he will be charged with murder.

"Marami [saksak] lahat nasa likod 'yung mga tama. 'Yun ang isang [tinitingnan], baka dahil sa kalasingan," said P/CPT. MARCO ESTILLERO, ACTING CHIEF OF POLICE, MAPANAS MPS.

In the Philippines, the penalty for committing murder is reclusion perpetua, which means imprisonment for a period of 20 years and 1 day to 40 years.

Murder is classified as a heinous crime under Philippine law and is considered more serious than hom!cide due to the presence of qualifying circumstances such as treachery, cruelty, or premeditation.

While the death penalty remains abolished in the country, reclusion perpetua carries strict conditions, including limited eligibility for parole.

The offender is also required to pay civil indemnity and damages to the victim's family as part of the legal consequences.
