Sonny, like any family member who just loss his family in a grave mass murder appeared on television asking for justice. A $100,000 was placed as a reward to whoever would be able to reveal who the assailant/s may be.
However, Sonny seemed to recover shortly after the murders. Because he was the sole heir of whatever was left by the family that included cars, house, business and money that included a large sum here in the Philippines that he was able to purchase luxury cars and moved to an expensive apartment.
During the various police investigations, he remained calm and showed no signs of distress to what had happened. It was very unlikely for a grieving child who lost his entire family in a very dreadful manner.
An eerie chill was felt on the day of the combined funeral as Sonny calmly gave the eulogy to his father and sang "One sweet day" without any musical accompaniment.
He lived in luxury afterwards which raised suspicions among the investigators. They tried hard to look even for the slightest evidence that could be gathered.
Prior to the time of the murders, Zenny revealed to their parents that her brother wasn't doing any good in school. Their parents threatened to disown him. Because they have high expectations from him that they were able to persuade him to give up his singing ambition and take course either in the field of medicine or law.
Authorities have found out that he unsuccessfully poisoned her mother in his attempt to kill her. They also had a misunderstanding when his mother disapproved of his girlfriend.
At first the police found the motive of the murders were, first racism because of what was spray painted on their wall. Second was robbery but their was no sign of force entry and the family's worthy possessions were not even touched. But then,.it was all done to intentionally divert the authorities attention from the real culprit.
Lo and behold, there's one sovereign who doesn't sleep and won't allow such acts go unjustified.
The inconsistent stories of Sonny made the police concluded he was involved in the crime. His alibis were two different events but little did he know that his maternal aunt who dropped at their house at around 6pm saw his car parked at the garage. A neighbor also noted he saw him fleeing the house by 7pm.
So here's what the police found out.
Yeah, the parents threatened to disinherit him because of his very poor performance in his studies and on the list of students to be expelled. His parents even withdrew some of his privileges such as the used of his car. But because they're parents, for sure they would give everything back when he will do better. But, his greediness and sole desire to have everything for himself made the police to have it as a motive of the act.
On that fateful day, Sonny went home and took the baseball bat from his car. He knew by this time his sister was already home and might be on her room or at the attic. He took the two kitchen knives from the kitchen as he entered the house and went straight to look for his little sister.
He found her at the attic and strangled her with the bat. He gave her a strong blow on the head with the bat also. The poor teenage girl was not able to fight. It was not only once but at least six times. Unsatisfied, the guy stabbed the girl countless times.
Anytime soon his mother would be home. He waited for her at the living room. So just as she entered the house he attacked her with one of the knives. He inflicted multiple stabs to her face, neck, chest and abdomen. Completely mutilated.
After an hour, he knew his father would arrive soon. Just as what he did to his mother, he waited for the man of the house to get in. And just as what he did to his mother, he did it to his father also. There were additional wounds in his back. Because he was stronger than the two lady who were easily assaulted by this monster that he tried to fight. Sonny was armed with one of the kitchen knives that made it to his advantage to defeat his father.
After killing his family he disposed everything he used as weapons, his clothes which were soaked in blood and including his shoes. He took a bath and sprayed the scrawled graffiti on the wall.
He called one of his friends and went partying. Late that evening after dropping off his friend to his place, he went home. He was expecting that the crime would be discovered by anyone who would happen to drop at their house in his absence.
Sonny acted as if he knew nothing of the horrible crime after he found his family bathing in their own blood, and dialled emergency services.
Investigating officers were able to put everything out after he acted very strange in relation with his loss. His inconsistent stories and alibis were destroyed by no one but himself alone. During trial, it was publicly known that he traded his family's cars and pawned his mother's jewellery. Evidences were all gathered and everything he said were false. An undercover detective also befriended Sonny during the investigation time which added some more evidences that would nail him.
On June 13, 2002 detectives arrested Sonny, the murderer and put him behind bars. He was found guilty of three murders and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.
