Initial findings from the police investigation indicate that Mark Edillon had suffered a fatal stab wound to his abdomen.
According to Lieutenant Dandy Ilalto, the chief of Banate Municipal Police Station, Edillon had been participating in a series of drinking sessions the night before his tragic death.
