The Brutal Killing of the Maguad Siblings
On December 10, 2021, the happy days of the passionate, smart, and loving teens, Crizzle, 18, and Crizzule, 16, came to an untimely end when they were ruthlessly murdered inside their own home in M’lang, North Cotabato, Philippines.
The bloody crime happened in broad daylight, at 2 in the afternoon which seems to be bizarre for a stranger killer to strike because they would commonly do their killings at night or in the dark.
The Crime Scene
According to Mr. Maguad, a high school teacher and the father of the slain siblings, at 2:58 in the afternoon, he was fixing some structure in his wife’s school when suddenly he received a call from someone who told him to come home quickly as their house was ransacked.
It was 3:15 when he reached his home and never even imagined that he would see a bloodbath in his house. In the interview, he reenacted the moment he opened their gate. He said that a blood-soaked blanket and knife were lying near the front door so to his distress, he soon called for his son but no one answered. He turned the knob to open the door but it was locked so he went to the back of the house that was very quiet and as he opened the back door, he kept on calling for his son, daughter, and another teenager named Janice, 16, whom they adopted in July 2021.
As he walked from the kitchen to the living room, he saw his children’s bodies both bathed in their own blood. His daughter, Crizzle, was full of bruises and stabbed wounds in the different parts of her now infested-with-ants and stiffed body that was lying a few steps outside her bedroom. While his son, Crizzule was hogtied and gagged near the front door of the house. His body was also full of stabbed wounds so it was bathing in fresh blood, not dry compared to Crizzle’s. There were also broken bottles, a hammer, and a baseball bat lying near the dead bodies of his children.
The Loopholes
Mr. Maguad also called their adoptive child, Janice, who came out from her room with her hair still wet. He said that the teen looked horrified but thought it very strange when Janice said that she did not hear him calling her…
