Chinese Citizen Stabbed to Death by His Citizen, Found Dead in His Car in Tondo

A Chinese national with multiple stab wounds in different parts of his body was found dead in a car parked at the corner of P. Algue and Abad Santos Streets in Tondo, Manila.

Manila Police District – Police Station 2 Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau (MTPB) member Victor Corrales (61) stated that at around 6:30 in the morning, he noticed that a Toyota Avanza with license plate CBM 4247 was parked at the said location. Corrales checked the vehicle but was surprised to see a man slumped in the driver’s seat, covered in blood.

While the victim was taken to the funeral parlor for autopsy and storage, the investigation continues to determine the reason behind the murder.

According to the initial investigation by the Manila Police District Homicide Squad, the victim, identified as Zhaoping Zhang (46) of EPZA, Rosario Cavite, got into an argument with his compatriot Liu Chow Qin on Narra Street around 6:45 a.m. Tondo.

An eyewitness told police that before the stabbing, the two argued until the suspect left.

Moments later, while the victim was sitting in the driver’s seat of a gray Toyota Avanza, the suspect returned with a knife.

The suspect went directly to the victim and stabbed him multiple times. The witness said he yelled at the suspect, but he stopped briefly and then continued stabbing the victim.

The victim managed to drive away but was unconscious by the time he reached Algue Street. That’s when Corrales later found the victim dead in his car.

The suspect is currently wanted by the police.
