Amel Kalipayan was found guilty of murdering Glaiza. He entered Glaiza's house without permission, approached her while she was cooking, and stabbed her in the back multiple times. He then held her hair to prevent her from moving as her mother tried to intervene. The court found treachery was present as an element of the crime, since Kalipayan unexpectedly attacked Glaiza from behind while she was in a vulnerable position unable to defend herself. The unexpected nature of the attack and ensuring Glaiza could not escape or retaliate showed treachery was deliberately employed. The Court of Appeals and trial court both found Kalipayan guilty of murder.
