Trigger Warning: Violence
Hinihingi ni Coleen Garcia ang tulong ng publiko para matukoy ang kinaroroonan ng kinilala niyang si Art Villacastin Tondo.
Ayon kay Coleen, si Tondo ang dating karpintero ng kanyang amang si Jose Garcia na pinaniwalaang pumaslang diumano kay Canice Minica Seming.
Si Seming ay kapatid ni Sey Garcia, na stepmother ni Coleen.
Sa imbestigasyon ng Antipolo Police, nagtamo ng labing-limang saksak sa katawan ang biktima.
Nangyari ang trahedya noong Disyembre 21, 2023, bandang 11:50 p.m., sa tahanan ng ama ni Coleen sa Antipolo City.
Detalyadong isinalaysay ni Coleen sa kanyang Facebook post nitong Sabado, Disyembre 23, 2023, ang mga nalalaman niya tungkol sa krimen.
Nang mangyari ang insidente, sinasabing hinahanap umano ni Tondo ang dating live-in partner na nag-aalaga sa mga kapatid ni Coleen.
Salaysay ni Coleen: "Two nights ago, he made his way into my dad’s house and stabbed my stepmom’s sister, Canice, to death. She was found to have over 15 stab wounds.
"He has a record of drug abuse, and is suspected to have been under the influence that night. He used to work as my dad’s carpenter (even used to work on our house), until my dad let him go because he found out about his drug use.
"His former live-in partner continued to work as a nanny to my little sister and step- brother."
"She left him and blocked him because apparently he’d been constantly threatening her, even saying he plans to kill her seven children.
"He never threatened my family prior to what happened.
"Canice had just arrived in my dad’s house, and he showed up looking for his partner, who was at our house at that time with my family."
Tinawag ni Coleen na mamamatay-tao si Tondo, kasunod ang pakiusap sa publiko na magsumbong agad sa mga awtoridad kung sakaling mamataan nila ito.
Kalakip ng salaysay ni Coleen ay ilang litrato ng suspek, kasama ng kopya ng record nito nang makulong ito noong 2018.
Inilahad din ni Coleen ang nararamdamang panghihina sa tuwing naiisip niya ang posibleng mangyari kung nagkataon na nasa lugar ng pinangyarihan ng krimen ang kanyang little sister at stepbrother.
"It’s difficult to find the words, but this man needs to be caught because he still remains to be a threat.
"I feel sick and weak every time I think about the children, who were supposed to be there that same night.
"They were on the way home from our house when it happened, and the three children were in the car when the body was found.
"Had their original plans been followed, the children would have been there at that same time."
Umaasa si Coleen sa tulong ng mga nagmamalasakit para sa mabilis na pagdakip kay Tondo.
Sabi pa ni Coleen: "We didn’t want to post about it, but this dangerous man is still out there and we need help finding him.
"The authorities have been on it since it happened, but we need all the help we can get.
"What happened was, and still is, completely devastating for the whole family, most especially for Sey and her family."
