Florencia arrived at his house. Florencio told Luceno that he is interested in buying a piglet from
him. Later on, the herein appellant arrived and willfully stabbed Florencio five times using a
pointed knife locally known as plamingco. The wife of the stabbed victim ran swiftly to the place
of the incident, but Florencio was already dead when she arrived. The police came later that day,
