QUISUMBING, J. |

| In a long line of cases, we held that treachery is present when the offender employs means, methods, or forms which tend to directly and specially insure the execution of the crime, without risk to himself arising from the defense which the offended party might make.[38] In the recent case of People vs. Birayon,[39] treachery was appreciated because the victim's hands were held when he was stabbed, such as in this case. | |||||
