| The essence of treachery is a deliberate and sudden attack, affording the hapless, unarmed and unsuspecting victim no chance to resist or to escape.[34] Frontal attack can be treacherous when it is sudden and unexpected and the victim is unarmed.[35] What is decisive is that the execution of the attack made it impossible for the victim to defend himself or to retaliate.[36] Neither did the presence of "defense wounds" on the body of the victim rule out treachery.[37] | |||||
