student from Dinalupihan, Bataan, alighted from a
bus as it stopped by a small bridge along EDSA just
before Roosevelt Ave, QC
She heard someone call out, Miss!, and when she
turned around, appellant Renato Z. Dizon was
already behind her. Seized her, pointing a fan knife
to the side of her neck, then announced a holdup.
Told her to face the railing of the bridge and asked
for wallet and jewelry. Arlie then complied. Still not
content, Dizon got her backpack and warned her
that he will kill her and throw her over the bridge as
he had done to his other victims, if he finds another
wallet in the backpack.
After taking all her things, Dizon instructed Arlie to
walk w him along EDSA as if they were a couple. All
the while, Dizons arm was around Arlies neck and a
knife pressed to her side.
Dark and empty basketball court. Dizon ordered
Arlie to remove her pants & underwear. No choice
but to follow him since he was still holding her at
knifepoint.
Dizon kissed Arlie on the lips, neck, and breasts (wc
he also mashed) ! bit her nip 3x, as well as the
right side of her back and also her vag ! forced her
to bend over a taxi hood and penetrated her vag in
this position.
Afterwards, Dizon ordered Arlie to hold & massage
his penis (wc he boastfully informed the latter carried
bolitas) ! forced her to put his penis into her mouth.
Still not done, Dizon forced Arlie to lie on the ground.
Whenever Arlie tried to resist, Dizon would bang her
head on the taxi hood, slam her head on the wall, or
slap her hard in the face. So she was pushed to the
ground, and there was ravished by Dizon all over
again.
Dizon still refused to let go of Arlie even though he
was admittedly spent by now. (ANG KAPAL?) Made
her sit astride over him and held her tightly by the
hair w both hands so she could not escape. When
Arlie hesitated to insert his penis inside her, Dizon
removed one hand from her hair and groped in the
dark. Arlie sensed he was reaching for his knife, and
