Actor-Director Ricky Rivero Stabbed 17 Times in His QC Apartment by a Guy He Met in Facebook


Former "That's Entertainment" member and now ABS-CBN's TV director Ricardo "Ricky" Rivero was stabbed by suspect Hans Ivan Ruiz inside his apartment at Masikap St., V. Luna, Barangay Pinyahan, Quezon City early this morning.

According to Barangay authorities, the two have known each other for 5 months now through Facebook. They decided to finally meet in Timog Avenue, Quezon City at around 11 p.m. last night.

Rivero brought Ruiz home where the incident happened. Initial report said that Ruiz stabbed the director 17 times using a bread knife when the director refused to give Ruiz money.

The suspect tried to escape with Rivero's laptop and other belongings but came back to clean the crime scene.

Ruiz also tried to hide the knife he used to stab Rivero. Authorities later found the knife inside a fire truck at the barangay hall.
