US Marine Stabbed Dead in Bel Air, Makati.

     A US Marine named George Anikow was beaten up and then stabbed dead in Bel Air Subdivision in Makati a few days ago. The whole incident was caught by the plush subdivision's closed circuit television cameras (CCTV). The American who was married to a US Embassy Diplomat, was seen on the CCTV footage walking towards one of the entrance gates of Bel Air at past 3 a.m. when the guard on duty informed him that the gates are already closed. The US Marine was slightly intoxicated but he was not making any disturbance.

     The guard and Anikow were talking when a Volvo vehicle arrived and tried to enter the subdivision so the guard left the Marine and proceeded in conducting a routine check on the car and its passengers. It was then that the tipsy American tapped the side of the Volvo and told the occupants to present their IDs and leave their Driver's License to the guard before they can be allowed to enter the area. The Marine probably thought that it was good idea to help the guard in doing the security check on the car but the 4 occupants of the Volvo got pissed at the attitude of the Marine for tapping their car and for not minding his own business.

     A heated argument ensued between the Volvo passengers and the US Serviceman when the occupants of the vehicle suddenly got out and started beating him up. One of the Marine's attackers used a tactical knife to stab and slash the victim in the neck and shoulder. The American tried his best in parrying the blows of the suspects and when he realized that he was outnumbered and already wounded, decided to run for his life. But the attackers were intent on inflicting serious damage on the victim so they pursued him and when they caught up with the Marine, the group again punched, kicked and stabbed him in the back until the victim fell to the ground.

     The 4 assholes then went back to their vehicle and before proceeding towards the subdivision, threatened the guard not to report the incident to anybody. The group even warned the guard not to write down the license plates of their car. The guard however alerted his fellow security personnel inside the subdivision and the Volvo was immediately cornered and the 4 dickheads were arrested.

     It took more than an hour before the American was taken to the hospital because the guards thought that he was already dead. Anikow was revived by the doctors at the hospital but he later died after three hours due to his serious injuries. The 4 murderers are now under police custody and are undergoing investigation. The CCTV footage is being studied by the cops and it showed the incident very clearly, the knife welder was clearly identified in the video; it was an asshole named Juan Alfonso Abastillas, 27 years old.

     The US Embassy has issued a statement thanking the authorities for the speedy arrest of the suspects. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has already sent its agents to conduct their own inquiry to the crime. The US Embassy has confirmed the identity of the victim and that he was indeed married to a US Embassy Diplomat. Anikow has 3 kids....

     The deadly incident should not have happened if Anikow stayed at his home and not wondering around at 3 a.m. intoxicated. Metro Manila is generally unsafe even in daytime so what more after dark? It makes no difference if it's in a squatters area or in a luxurious subdivision, Metro Manila is full of criminals. Anikow would still be alive if he minded his own business and just let the guard do the routine check on the Volvo. Maybe the Marine acted on his instincts and long years of training as a soldier and tried to help the guard make the precautionary check.

     Only one thing is for sure, the 4 occupants of the Volvo had no right stabbing Anikow dead. If they got pissed at the American then they should have just dismissed him as another liquored up fool. Nothing can simply justify their actions, killing an innocent man because he tapped your car and because he told you to show your identification card is unjustifiable. What these 4 Filipinos did is murder, plain and simple! They all should rot in jail!
