MANILA, Philippines- High profile inmate Tony Co was killed while three others were wounded in a stabbing incident inside Building 14 of the New Bilibid Prison on Wednesday morning.
“The stabbing incident happened at around 7:40 a.m” Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre said.
He said that “Convict Peter Co was in critical condition while two others, Vicente Sy and Jaybee Sebastian were being treated at the Medical Center of Muntinlupa City”.
The Bureau of Corrections is still investigating the incident.
Jaybee Sebastian, an alleged drug lord and gang leader, had been invited to attend the House of Representatives Committee on Justice hearing on the alleged drug trade in the NBP.
Last Tuesday, two high-powered signal jammers were installed inside Building 14 to make sure inmates can no longer use their smuggled cellphones.
