THE ORPHAN KILLER (Maguad Siblings Case Murder)

THE ORPHAN KILLER (Maguad Siblings Case Murder)

On December 10, 2021, a tragic event occurred in the Philippines. Two teenagers, Crizzle (18) and Crizzule (16), who were known for their happiness and intelligence, were brutally killed in their own home in M’lang, North Cotabato.

The crime happened in broad daylight, which is unusual for such violent acts. Normally, crimes like this occur at night.

Here's what happened:

Mr. Maguad, the father and a high school teacher, received a call informing him that their house had been broken into. When he rushed home, he found a horrifying scene. There was a lot of blood, and his children were dead. Crizzle had bruises and stab wounds, while Crizzule was tied up and also had stab wounds. There were also broken bottles, a hammer, and a baseball bat nearby.

What makes things suspicious is that Janice, a teenager they had adopted in July 2021, acted strangely. She had just started calling them "Mama" and "Papa" that morning. She also knew where the murder weapon, a hammer, was kept. The baseball bat was in a place where Crizzule used to sleep.

Janice told a different story from what the crime scene showed. She claimed three men had entered the house and killed Crizzule first. However, when Mr. Maguad arrived, Crizzule's blood was still fresh, and Crizzle's body had started to stiffen and was covered in ants. Janice also posted for help on Facebook, but when people called her, she didn't say anything.

The police found that Janice's hiding place was messy, and it looked like the criminals had searched every corner of her room. So, it seemed impossible that they wouldn't have seen her hiding under the bed.The investigators also noticed that the perpetrator had enough time to wash and change clothes before attempting to dispose of them in an irrigation ditch. However, the police found the clothes.

On December 16th, Janice, the girl who was adopted into the Maguad family, confessed that she was guilty. She said that jealousy and anger drove her to commit this terrible crime. She admitted that she had help from two other people, one of them being her boyfriend. Janice and the other person are now in the custody of the Department of Social Welfare and Development because they are minors. Janice's boyfriend is still on the run.

The chief of the municipal police, Major Realan Mamon, confirmed that Janice, who was adopted into the Maguad family, confessed to brutally killing the two siblings. Mr. Maguad, the father, explained that Janice was jealous and insecure, which is why she became very angry with Crizzle, one of the siblings. Janice wanted to take Crizzle's place, and this seemed to be part of her personality. When she's angry with someone, she would do whatever it takes to harm them.

Janice was adopted by the Maguad family just five months before the incident. Crizzle, the daughter, had insisted on helping Janice finish her studies because she was an orphan. However, the police later found out that Janice's parents are still alive, and she has three siblings.

Janice had a liking for watching movies, and one of her favorites was "The Orphan." Mr. Maguad mentioned that she introduced this movie to him, but he didn't like it. "The Orphan" is a thriller movie about a family adopting a young girl who turns out to be a psycho killer.

It's shocking and terrible to think that a 16-year-old girl, who had the opportunity to have a better life with a loving adopted family, could commit such a brutal murder.

"We feel very sorry for the parents of the young kids who were killed. With these new developments, we believe they can get justice for their children," said North Cotabato Vice Governor Emmylou Mendoza.

"What's really sad is that the main person responsible for the Maguad siblings' murder is someone they adopted into their family and treated very well, like a real relative," Mendoza added.

We hope the souls of the Maguad siblings can find peace, and we pray that God helps and comforts the parents as they try to heal from this heartbreaking loss.
