Kosain Manibpol and his family were attacked in their home, resulting in the death of his wife and six children, while he and one daughter survived. Two men, Ciriaco Baldesco and Bonifacio Tirol, were found guilty of seven counts of murder and two counts of frustrated murder. They were sentenced to death and imprisonment. On appeal, Baldesco died. The court held that while Baldesco's death extinguished his criminal penalties, his estate was still liable for the civil damages owed as a result of his crimes.
